Well, I'm sure AEM makes those bypass valves for a reason. And you never know...last winter i ended up going under a bridge that had like 2.5 feet of flooded water pop up out of nowhere and my car went a little crazy for a few minutes.

Keep your fender liner in place. You will be fine.
99% of people who hydrolock are the ones who slammed their cars so low that they had to remove fender liners and guess what, your air filter is exposed to air and will suck in water that much easier.
I wouldn't worry about water in winter, as they all get forzen anyway. If anything, worry about it next year when it melts.
