Does it mean I can only have my log stored locally?

I would suggest using the fast output module and logging to a straight

Not directly, as logging to a shell script would involve invoking a new 
process, an extremely slow and expensive operation that would cause snort 
to miss packets.

You might be able to abuse barnyard for this purpose, or on the easier end 
just use a logwatch or swatch setup.

See the FAQ on emailing alerts.
