Shooting in the snow the other day, grandkids playing, I had both filter and hood on, my son had just the filter, he got snow on the filter, I did not see any on my filter but it could have melted or dried whatever, I think you need to look at conditions and the risk factor you are willing to accept, replacing a lens is expensive, are you selling prints for a lot of money? I live surrounded by salt water, sand, shoot around kids and dogs, I keep a filter on, Bob.
Given your shooting conditions I believe I would keep a filter on as well.
