Nice catch. There's something to be said sometimes for not relying on memory alone when posting.
Still, that appears to be as close as the invaders ever got to entering the Shire.

It is said that Angmar was for a time subdued by the Elvenfolk coming from Lindon; and from Rivendell, for Elrond brought help over the Mountains out of Lórien.
Appendix A

Those actions by the Elves drove the forces of Angmar away before they could invade the Shire, so I think it is still feasible neither the WK or his armies ever saw a hobbit.
