You have obviously not spent much time where it's really cold and snowy.
Snow is still snow till the temp gets up above 32F, and since the engine is sucking in cold (below freezing) air, the filter isn't much warmer than what's coming in the grille. So the snow acts just like dirt, only it stays suspended in the air longer because it's less dense than dirt, and plugs the filter, posthaste.
I think you can get a cold front from Alaska Tent & Tarp in Anchorage for $40 or less.
