Default Won`t start do to snow

Hi I own a 1994 1.6l Suzuki Sidekick 16valve.The motor compartment was packed full of snow over night by the blowing wind and would not start the next morning.I cleaned all the snow out with the air hose I was careful not to blow off any hoses or wires.It still will not start I put the battery charger on to keep my charge up.Nothing looks wet or anything,it has started flawlessly till now.It won`t even sputter,Pretty cold out as well .Any ideas would be appreciated Thank You all

Yeah, after YOUR waiting 4 hours I would have expected that there would have been at least 25 people sitting at their computers waiting to get back to you. Oh well, maybe some of them had to work today or something. Maybe the thing to do would be to let the forum know how you took care of it, Tracka

Yea work is a bitch. This forum is not a hotline. Maybe the next time it breaks call a tow truck.

Hi, if you havn't got it going yet, tell us in more detail about just what the situation is, maybe someone else will be familiar with it. Tracka

if it doesn't start in colder temperatures, it could be increased resistance in your electric connections. Try cleaning all grounds, battery and starter connections, then coat them with dielectric grease. Even if this isn't the solution it doesn't cost anything and would be normal maintenance. Good luck.
