It looks like there was no snow over much of the bed cover in the middle crown area.

And less than one inch everywhere else as it tapered to zero depth upward.

Very interesting.

Here are some snow pictures of mine, click the right arrow to see the sequence. Truck was parked, heavy snowfall with constant 35 mph winds going into the front of the vehicle during the storm.

Concave shapes are not supposed to support air flow/adhesion, that first photo makes me wonder.
