Riddles commonly use this type of anthropomorphism. The start of the line refers to a step, which is establishing the line as a comparitive to a living thing. I suppose next you'll say Glacier's can't walk either, so how can they take a step. In the same way the line referring to breath is what is being exhaled (or let out) as it moves, which can be considered snow. It’s a riddle. Riddles commonly use this type of anthropomorphism.
