It can get blown in pretty easily, either while driving or being parked facing in to the wind. As long as the engine bay isn't packed full of snow it's nothing to worry about.

engine generates heat...heat needs to go somewhere.
car have openings to cool the engine.
Thus, during winter, snows gets in the engine bay thru that must needed openings.
heat will melt snow that gets in the parts that heat up, but battery is not supposed to heat too much (otherwise it will lose electric power).
Capisce?
no adiabatic engines developed so far (no need for cooling)
