No airflow = hot air. Snow doesn't transfer heat as effectively as your IC and/or rad.

When the fans turn on, the temps would drop due to the ambient temp's around being so cold.
It's not like were sitting at 5k in boost all the time when driving/.

Never had that issue in either of my honda's, unlock most of them. I always kept my fender well in!

My MX6 on the other hand, it hung down near the center left of the engine bay at the front, you could see it if you looked under the car :)

Never had an issue suprisinly.

sometimes I think I should be paid to post these public service announcements if even one guy got his intake off and avoided that bendy rod....  :P

Common sense, honda people don't have.
