Default Necessary to cover top of central AC intake in winter?

Hi ,
I have central air in my house and I live in the northeast.
There is an outside unit that sits on a slab that I think brings in
the air. Its a box and every side is metal screen.
I was driving around my neighborhood yesterday and I saw that some
people in my neighborhood had their AC units covered, just the top,
with plastic. This would cut down on the air intake but maybe it is
more important that ice and snow do not get inside? Are you supposed
to cover the top of the intake in the winter? Thanks

Hi,
Our Carrier unit came with cover when installed. Custom fit with
Carrier Logo on it, etc. just like BBQ cover. I use it during winter.
