Airport; Weather
After landing; on the taxi in; we turned westbound on taxiway; since it was snowing fairly hard; and the wind was blowing; we made sure to identify the yellow centerline and confirmed it by noting the blue taxi lights to our right. Almost abeam to the gate the right engine shut down. We stopped and requested a tug. When the snow let up we determined we were stuck on a snowdrift that had blown onto the taxiway.
