Maybe she crossed a road for some reason and was spooked by a passing car. There's also the snow and ice to consider. My cat wouldn't go beyond a little area I had cleared on the patio if she could help it when there was snow on the ground. She climbed onto our flat roof at the back and made her way across the rooftops to wherever she wanted to go.
Maybe she's been 'trapped' somewhere through her own reluctance to cross barriers which have spooked her.
