Default Vented Hood and Rain/Snow!

So how do you guys with vented hoods (DYI, CF) and no garages deal with rain and snow? I know that when you're moving and it rains, water doesn't really get into the engine bay, but what about when you're parking at night? If it rain/snow, how do you deal with that?

It does not hurt any thing, your engine bay just gets dirty faster.
