Default Covering LNB from Snow?

Hi guys; I'll like to get some type of cover or material to protect the eye on LNB Invacom 031 without loosing any signal? i notice the little glass or plastic covering the eye caved in and i believe that the snow stacks there and i think i loose signal because of that,and the dish is on the roof can't go there when there is snow,
during the snow fall i lost signal for a hole day.
I tried a neoprene small bag and lost a little bit of signal Any ideas Thanks in advance.

...........you can put a condom to "protect" the eye of lnbf and cooking spray on the dish, it works for me, not to much snow here but........
