Snow building up in/on the induction intakes/filters can have you reaching for hot/alternate air. The Partenavia and Apache are 2 types I've had this issue with.

I almost posted this exception but decided not too. Yes if the snow has nowhere to go ie it hits a flat surface like a grille and doesnt pass through there is a danger that it will block the inlet.
Most aircraft dont have that sort of setup but ones which have a grill over something like an engine intake could block with snow if its unheated. The Partenavia did come to mind but that aircraft doesnt have a good reputation in any icing not just snow.

The fact is that this is not going anywhere fast and is becoming pointless and personal so its better we beg to differ and leave it and no hard feelings
