How appropriate. Snowdrop with lots of snow.

In France they're called "perce-neige" because they do that. In Britain
we usually haven't the snow.
I have been hearing about the cold weather across the pond. We have
had a wonderful winter so far and no snow worth caring about. Also the
temps have been quite above bitter cold all season here in
Philadelphia.
