How much snow/rain/water can a camcorder take?

Hi guys. I was recently looking at a Nimbus post here on NS and I noticed a shot of someone shooting with a camera that looks like either a HVX-200 or a HMC-150.

I'm curious how much snow/moisture and cold weather these cameras can take. I really don't want to risk my equipment because it is what I'm using to pay for grad school. A little feedback would be great. Thanks!

i filmed in the moderately hard rain for about 4 hours with my HVX one day and it still works perfectly

Do you think the HMC-150 would hold up in these conditions as well or is it a little weaker?
