I haven’t read that book, but yes. Potentially. The book was published in the mid 1800’s, and clothes were so different back then. She probably would have had several layers of clothing, including underskirts and a ‘frock’ that went over it all and could have been heavier (even wool). It makes sense to me that if she went out while it was actively snowing, she could have lifted that back part of her skirt up over her head and wrapped it around her arms, while still having her behind covered by the rest of her garments.
