[Antennas] Krazy Antenna Idea

I have been planning on being on 160m. The upper portion, say 1850 to 1975.
I have a carport that runs E-W, that is the length, the mountain to the N
fairly well prohibits propagation that way.
If I mount a vertical on the N side of the carport, run the radials E-W on
the N edge, S-E and S-W to the diagonal corners, and, S on the width, with
possibly, the radials from the N wrapping along the edge to join the
diagonals which could go to the ground and be grounded, along with the
width N-S going to ground over the edge. This is the first question how
would that work for the radial system? How would the snow on the roof of
the car port, up to 4ft deep, dry and wet, influence the radials plus the
antenna. Now that is something else.

Any comments on this radial system?
