DIY storm shield / cover for inverter generator?

Anybody got a low-buck DIY solution to keep rain/sleet/snow off the generator while it is running? One time I set a piece of plywood on top which sufficed for some heavy snow but that wouldn't do if there was any wind. Curious what quick and easy ideas others have used.

    Why?
    It won’t hurt the generator or at least it has t hurt the 100s or 1000s of generators I’ve used out in the weather.
    This comes up once in a while and it’s a very fickle thought process. Just use your generator
    Cover it when you’re not using it if you are choosing to leave it out in the elements indefinitely
