It's very cold today! Freezing cold.
Snow started to settle on my garden last Friday; soon it was covered and the branches of the trees started to droop under the weight.
The streets of Jaca have been cleared of snow by snowploughs so that cars can circulate, but you have to use a shovel to clear the snow from around the car in order to move it. Parking is difficult because of the great mounds of snow piled up everywhere. 

Now it's sunny the snow melts during the day, but forms icicles on the eaves of buildings.

Some more snow words: sleet, slush, blizzard, ice, freeze, thaw, melt, slip,
