How do you protect your lawn from snow mold?

If you did not apply a preventative fungicide in the Fall, lightly rake the area, to provide better air flow.
Next year, you can apply the fungicide, or switch to Milorganite, which has a lower Nitrogen level, and can be applied any month you have no snow on the ground.
