The floor must be poured first, then the walls go up. I have no doubt this would currently hold the ~1ft of snow we get each year. It was engineered to support solar water panels.

I'm not sure how you poured the footing but it looks like you've blind formed each vertical member individually instead of having one continuous footing (which is the standard here) I would just be worried about the building settling unevenly, as a new building does for the first couple of years. I don't however know what the soil compaction/frost is like where you are or if you've poured appropriate footings.
Don't take this the wrong way; i'm not trying to poo poo all over your new shop, just keeping an eye out.
