He might have a golf umbrella....

Geoff:
Depends on the brolly.... a golf umbrella would be the best. They can 
give a lot of protection. It also depends on the wind. If the wind 
really gets behind the snow and drives it hard so that it's coming at 
you near to the horizontal, many umbrellas can't cope.
