Default strange situation

Hi as you may know I live in iowa and earlier in the week week we had a pretty good blizzard.My jeep sits outside because I don't have room for everything.I went out tuesday morning to fire the old girl up and she fired right up except the check gauges lite was on and the voltmeter read zero.Got out and popped the hood and the engine compartment was packed with snow.It sat head first into a 45 -50 MPH wind and blowing snow.Shut the motor off and scratched my head, decided to sart it again and it cranked but would not start,held the pedal to the floor and it finally started.moved the tractor outside and put the jeep inside to melt the snow under the hood,it has been fine ever since.Any comments,observations or ideas what might have happened.

thanks millman
