Snow in engine bay?

So today was the first snowfall in my part of Alberta (nothing to crazy mostly light and powdery). I piped my hood to check my connections with my new intake and noticed snow under the hood. There was a visible amount on the radiator shroud, around the edges of the bay and there was even a bit caught in the heat shield of my r2c's. Is that normal? if not how do I fix it (no snow was actually on my r2c filter that I could see, only behind it).

That reminds how on old Subaru forums people would occasionally freak out about going to car was because they feared soap getting on the intercooler!

Dude, this snow will melt about 2 minutes after you start your engine. Engine is sealed and air filters are there for a purpose.

Yeah I suppose. I'll move the intakes upwards a bit so the heatshiels will push against the hood an stop snow from getting to them.
