Here my solution:
Move to San Diego!
And 1 year I tried the plastic wrap man it was a mess. water got stuck into all the connection and i believe it was worse b/c I did that. I decided from then on just to leave it and hope for the best. If I start to blow some fuses I launch my bad weather song and just keep the projector running holiday movies.
On a competely off topic, You guys should see my cube! 8 channels of bliss, bad part is I am the only one that has decorated!

Wrapping connections is hit and miss - if water gets into a wrapped connection, you'll have a heck of time locating it, and it could cause corrosion. Best bet is to cover any exposed connections with a miniature "pup tent" made of sheet plastic and secured to the ground with a couple of "U"s made from coathanger. If any connections get a wet, a good blow with a leaf blower tends to get most of the moisture out.

Make a bad weather voiceover and cross your fingers for better weather.
Speaking of (and since we're off topic :D) Houston got this weird white stuff yesterday all over the place. Some of it was still here this morning, though I'm not sure where the rest of it went. |

Yep... One. More time consuming to take apart. That's it. Usually, we're fairly good as long as we're not sitting in a puddle. |

I was thinking about wrapping the connections with plastic wrap. Are there any reason why I shouldn't do this?

Nothing.
If the GFCI goes, then it's doing it's job.
If nothing blows, and I'm not all tingly when walking around, we're good.
