I can only imagine!

No doubt that a snorkel will deliver fresh air but if the air box is so efficient at heating it up, I wonder if the benefit will be maximized. A 40* temp rise in such a short distance is amazing to me.

I like the idea of insulating the air box and maybe circulate windshield washer fluid around it as a heat sink? Kidding...
