Has snow drifted? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

owns

'has' is the definition.
('own' can be a synonym of 'have')

'snow drifted?' is the wordplay.
'drifted?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'drifting' mean this).
'snow' anagrammed gives 'OWNS'.

(Other definitions for owns that I've seen before include "Confesses" , "Has possession of by right" , "Possesses" , "Admits possession" , "uses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
