It's not a flap on top; that's the top cover, lifted up for display purposes. I suppose snow could sit on the cover until the next use of the dryer. Then the heat from the air coming out would melt it off, but air does not flow out there anyway, so it doesn't matter. If you click on the link to see what it looks like, to the right of the picture is a right-bracket that you can click to cycle through the different pictures. The third shows what the inside looks like, with the top lid lifted up as though for cleaning. That lid stays down during normal operation. Inside, a light plastic cylindrical cup floats up on outgoing dryer exhaust air, constrained laterally by the six vertical fins inside the outer case. That air lifts the cup up, and the air flows out around the sides and exits the device flowing downward around the 90 degree ell coming out of the wall. The item in the link is essentially the same as the Heartland 21000 dryer vent shown here, with its own pictures:
