lol, you have another 2 weeks, lol. wait for it to stop snowing and go away, its not a good idea to run in the snow, not only the electronics but just the metal parts and the bearings can get rusty from the moisture.

Just film a bashing video in the living room!

You can protect the electronics by putting them in plastic bags. I have also heard about people using that rubber in a can stuff to coat the servos so they are more water resistant. Just remember, if any of the electronics start acting up, shut the car off and let everything dry out for a day or so.

Good luck,

put the electronics in a condom, that should keep them pretty dry, the servo's can be dipped in liquid electrical tape, home depot sells it.

Open the servos up and put dielectric grease in them. Put the receiver in a baloon or even a baggie. This will water proof them. The grease works awsome.
