Default how heavy is a green roof?

Sitting in the hillbilly hot tub this evening (heated with WVO) I was working out the loadings for the roof for the house abuilding. Normally in this neck o the woods they figure 50lbs/sqft, for snow loading. So if I take the 50lbs plus the roof structure plus 12" of wet dirt, I think I may be looking at upwards of 200lbs/sq ft. Any thoughts?
