About the destroyed chimney, run that little gabel all the way to the peak. It wont be horizontal and will look kind of goofy but it will cut the snow and cause it to shed sideways a bit first. At the peak of this littel gabel you can support the chimney somewhat by actually attaching the chimney to the peak of roof by using the ridge board as a structural member in tension. If you increase the height of that little gabel and possibly the chimney you can help even more.
Good luck
