I want a snorkel. But I don't think rain or snow is really that much of a problem. you might get the tube a little wet but I strongly doubt there is enough water to cause much of a problem.

if you are that worried about it just turn the snorkel head around in the rain. but from what i read and as stated by red3.slow i doubt you will have enough water in there to cause i problem

A little water in the engine wont hurt it will just evaporate in the cylinder. A lot of water is what hurts the engine.

I made a cover for mine with a 4" pvc cap but unless you live in a very wet environment I wouldn't worry too much. the main problem would bee if water could collect in the intake or splash in and slug your motor. that would be BAD
