Yes, but there is probably HEAPS of it to be had just outside your

Nah, not outside MY door. (and if it was, it would take a bit more

Tis possible to be "snowed in" without a single flake landing near
*you*, if it blocks the main routes into and out of a town or city.
Used to happen all the time when I lived in East Lothian.
