Dude this is what I think my exact problem is! My air filters had sucked/pulled away from the edge of the holders letting snow/moisture in. Only happens when it’s blowing snow on the hwy. I was even more assured when I read your post.
FIXED!!
After much searching on Nissan forums, I came across someone who said to look at the Mass Airflow Sensor.
I opened the engine bay and popped off the sensor wire and noticed that it was wet.
Which led me to open my air filters to see what was going on. When I opened them, I noticed snow trapped in the media and the rubber gasket around the filter had con-caved inward letting a large amount of air passed the media WITHOUT being filtered.
This was causing too much air-to-fuel ratio and the moisture from the snow was shorting my MAF out. Replaced filters with a good quality brand and ZERO problems since.
