Gusts to 70 mph expected. Weather guy said that snow on roof will
lessen chances of shingles (asphalt, in my case) being lifted. Any
truth to this statement?

Sure, unless you can get some very little guy to crawl under the snow
and lift up the shingles.

I've installed a cooler so I can keep snow on my roof all year long.
