Go to the supermarket and get some Saran quick covers(kind of like a ghetto shower cap). I used the "medium" size on the old emaxx(and use it on the new one as well, but it is a tight fit). If they have a large, it would be better. It has been a couple years since I bought them, but i bought a little bucket of them for a few bucks and they last forever. iIt is handy to have a couple on hand, so you can always put a dry one on. Things do get hot under this blanket, though - I used to take empty antenna tubes and criss-cross them to hold the cover up like a tent. A bigger cover would be best for this. For snow running, you want to gear down(especially when putting electronics inside a blanket like this) - and check temps after 5 minutes or so - I can thermal my old warrior controller after 6 or so minutes when it is sealed up(I have since siliconed the esc and use an old piece of lexan to block most of the snow from entering the body - nothing even gets beyond luke warm like this, but things do get wet). :)
