if you live in snow country it won't last past the first big snow storm. I wouldn't use anything less than 2X10s at 2 ft. centers.
On a house we built in southern OR we had 2X 12s on 2 ft. center for a 20 ft. span with a 10 in 12 pitch.
And for some reason on the second floor we had to use 2X12s on 1 ft. centers on a 20 ft. span I still think it over kill. But better safe than sorry. Call the building department an ask them what they recommend.
