snowproofed
Protected from flurries
Snowproofed means treated or designed to resist snow penetration or damage.
The term applies to clothing, gear, or structures made to withstand snowy conditions: snowproofed boots, a snowproofed cabin roof.
Like waterproofed, it suggests preparation against the elements rather than absolute imperviousness.
