The invention claimed is: 1. A weather barrier assembly for an opening frame having an outer perimeter and a frangible element within the perimeter of the opening frame, the weather barrier assembly comprising: a plurality of struts forming a frame having a converging end and a diverging end, the diverging end having a given periphery; a plurality of brackets disposed about the opening frame, the diverging end of the frame engageable with the brackets to space the converging end from the frangible element; and a flexible material enclosing the converging end and the diverging end of the frame to define an enclosed volume. 2. The weather barrier assembly of claim 1, wherein the frame includes a base at the diverging end, the base having a plurality of coplanar struts defining the given periphery. 3. The weather barrier assembly of claim 2, wherein the base is spaced from the frangible element. 4. The weather barrier assembly of claim 2, wherein the base includes adjustable length struts. 5. The weather barrier assembly of claim 2, further comprising a coupler attached to each bracket and interconnecting the respective bracket to the frame. 6. The weather barrier assembly of claim 4, further comprising a plurality of connectors, wherein one of the plurality of connectors couples one of the adjustable length struts to another one of the adjustable length struts. 7. The weather barrier assembly of claim 1, wherein the flexible material extends from adjacent the frangible element to the converging end. 8. The weather barrier assembly of claim 1, wherein the flexible material has an air permeability between approximately 6 cubic feet per minute and 21 cubic feet per minute. 9. The weather barrier assembly of claim 1, wherein a portion of the enclosed volume is adjacent to the frangible element. 10. The weather barrier assembly of claim 1, wherein the flexible material includes a hem along the outer circumference, the hem arranged to receive a cable therein. 11. The weather barrier assembly of claim 10, wherein the cable is exposed at predetermined positions, and wherein a plurality of clips is attached to the cable at the exposed predetermined positions to dispose the cable within three inches of a plane of the opening frame. 12. The weather barrier assembly of claim 11, further comprising a plurality of mounts disposed along the opening frame, wherein one of the plurality of clips fastens to one of the mounts. 13. The weather barrier assembly of claim 12, wherein the mounts are U-shaped. 14. The weather barrier assembly of claim 11, further comprising a thread coupled to the cable and the flexible material, the thread having a tensile strength that is less than a tensile strength of the flexible material. 15. A weather barrier assembly for protecting a frangible element of a building surrounded by an opening frame, the assembly comprising: a plurality of brackets and mounts disposed outside a periphery of the frangible element; a frame including at least four struts each having one end at a frame converging end and a second end at a frame diverging end, the frame converging end distal from the frangible element and the frame diverging end coupled to one of the plurality of brackets; and a flexible material enclosing the converging end and the diverging end of the frame to define an enclosed volume. 16. The weather barrier assembly of claim 15, wherein the frame includes a base at the diverging end, the base having a plurality of coplanar struts, the flexible material enclosing the frame. 17. The weather barrier assembly for protecting a frangible element of a building surrounded by an opening frame, the assembly comprising: a plurality of brackets and mounts disposed outside a periphery of the frangible element; a frame including at least four struts each having one end at a frame converging end and a second end at a frame diverging end, the frame converging end distal from the frangible element and the frame diverging end coupled to one of the plurality of brackets; base at the frame diverging end, the base having a plurality of coplanar adjustable length struts; and a flexible material enclosing the frame to define an enclosed volume. 18. A method of isolating a frangible element of a building from weather comprising: attaching a frame having a diverging end and a converging end to a corresponding bracket on a opening frame surrounding the frangible element; and fastening a flexible material to the frame to enclose the converging end and the diverging end of the frame to define an enclosed volume.
