Fear not crash, this sort of weather is pretty unusual for us & it only lasts a few days. Im not a fan of bike covers cos IMHO they cause more problems than they solve. My bike is used daily, all year round so I use powdercoat & plenty of stainless. Still looking good after 2 years of living outside

Yeah if a little rain doesn't hurt it, a little snow that sits on it for a couple of days shouldn't do much worse. Now letting something sit in a snow bank all winter is a different story. A friend of mine bought a bike a few years ago for a case of beer. It took three of us to yank it out of a snow bank because the sidestand was frozen a couple inches into the ground. Now that bike was neglected.
