Slippery slope.
The argument assumes a chain of increasingly extreme outcomes (snow → cannot leave → no food → death) without justification and ignores intermediate possibilities (stockpiles, deliveries, neighbors, clearing roads, etc.). It’s not a single-cause, correlation-causation, or genetic fallacy.
