Mathew, If you cover your boat with a canvas tarp, it will prety much prevent 
a lot of snow in the cockpit.  It's also easier on the boat.  Ice can form 
and put pressure on all deck fittings, stanchions, chainplates,and what have 
you  It's one of those things where you pay me now, or pay me later.  A tarp 
will cost some money, but it saves so much wear and tear, not to mention 
keeping the halyards protected from U V.
Your boat will be cleaner in the spring also.  Get a tarp at least 35' long, 
and wide enough to come down 3' on a side.  I  put my mast on top of the 
boat.  A suport at the stern,  tied to a board across the bow pulpit, and the 
tarp goes over that.  I would never leave my boat uncovered.  Do they do that 
in Nova Scotia?
