Default Question for the A6ers playing in the snow

So in my neck of the woods today was the second time it has snowed since I acquired this car. My back end seems to be a magnent for snow. It covers the camera of course not allowing me to see (thank god my eyes still work), but it is kind of annoying. My back end is just covered with snow than, as if the car was standing still the whole time. Has anyone else noticied this. Stupid question of the day, any possible way to avoid the snow kicking up on the trunk and packing up on my camera?

I'm well into a second winter here in Anchorage, AK with my '12 Premium Plus and honestly, I haven't ever had snow cover the back-up camera.

I suspect your trunk lid spoiler may have something to do with your problem, creating a vortex of some sort perhaps?

I also have a P+ in Colorado, have driven it though some pretty good snow (falling and/or already on the ground). I have not had any issues with snow covering the camera yet.

I have seen it get fogged up pretty badly when the Mag Cloride is down, but the snow hasnt started yet (the mist is a slimy fog that gets EVERYWHERE).

I did some driving in some snow/slush mess, and at the end of it my back-end was pretty filthy. Camera was covered with mud so I just wiped it off.
