Well, technically, I do >NOT< leive in Snow country. But last year DC did get it's once every decade blizzard (2+ feet of snow). My Westy has a car cover (Storm shield the real heavy duty cover, that is custom fit for the Westy). Works great, the only problem it has, is that the luggage rack over the front tends to accumulate water (melt water in the case of snow) which then freezes up again. Should put a air pillow or equivalent in there to aid the run off/shedding of snow.
