Skip, I think this was just Mother Nature's way of getting back at you for thumbing your nose at her for driving the S2000 through the winter all these years
All joking aside, I really do hope you can get the car back to 100%. I hope the insurance company doesn't decide to do anything drastic.

So far, the insurance company has been very helpful. The difficult part is that I have to find a contractor to remove the carport so that the adjuster (and I) can see what the real damage is. At the moment, it does appear that the damage is confined to the hardtop and the windshield framing. Of course, water is dripping into the interior as the snow and ice melts from the carport. At least no one was hurt.

If the hardtop is fixable, perhaps you could also consider selling it to someone for less. I'd love to see a hardtop saved as much as I like seeing these cars rescued.
With the going rate for used hardtops ranging from $2800 to $4000, you probably could sell it to someone that will get it repaired and use it.
EDIT: Just to illustrate the kind of prices hardtops are commanding, here are two hardtop-for-sale threads
