This will be my first winter with my CAI. I live in the desert, so it rarely rains or snows *knocks on wood*

Anyway, I'll be leaving mine on.

Shouldn't be a problem. Could be interesting if snow and ice gets clogged around your air filter though. I would suggest you check it from time to time and be sure snow doesn't have any easy ways to get to your air filter.

To directly answer your question, yes I will be fine all winter long. And so will you.

It might be helpful to cover the tirewell vent holes so that the front tire does not kick snow etc. into the filter. i used duct tape to cover the holes and it keeps my filter much cleaner.

Yes, I would cover the holes in the fenderwell, but other than that, your CAI should be fine thoughout the winter. It will give you a lot better performance on those cold days too. The ones where there isn't ice and snow yet. Have fun freezing up there.
