Ok, looking at AWC 2021 https://awc.org/codes-and-standards/span-tables/

4” ice ~ 43 psf. I’ve never seen more than 2” accumulate here, at that point trees or their big limbs are coming down, all over my neighborhood. So 4” feels like a reasonable worst case.

Using values for northern Doug fir rafters no 1/2.

At 50 psf live load I can span the required distance using 2x10 on 12” centers or 2x12 on 16” centers. At 40 psf, 2x10 on 16” centers.

I have an idea for the construction of the roof covering to reliably shed snow and ice rather than accumulate it.
