Show me a breathable cover that is good at letting moisture vapor escape and I'll show you a cover that lets water in and allows ice to cling to it and eventually tear it apart.
Breathable cover is great, but in snow country cover the cover with a tarp that sheds rain snow and ice, not absorbs and clings to it. Plus your $300 fancy cover will last much longer if it's protected by a cheap plastic tarp.
Good idea about the plastic (or gravel or pavement) underneath.
Coving the top part is the first and best defense, but the drier you keep it overall the better.
