CAI in winter?

I haven't had this car through a winter yet. In the summer I got it a aem CAI. Now it is lowered pretty low. I am planning to drive it in the winter. I'm in Canada which thereis lots of snow. What should I do cover it with a water proof filter cover? leave it? Or put the stock intake back in? I will not be driving it in a blizzard but only when the roads are plowed. Any advice is appreciated.

If you have your wheel wells that should be enough to protect it against snow?

you'll be fine. The only danger with a CAI is sucking up water. Your filter is hidden behind the wheel well and underbody cover. If you put a cover on your filter your engine won't be getting much air, lol.

As long as your fender liner is in there is nothing you need to do.
