The eys of snow - the glitter-like sparkle on the
surface of fresh snow on a sunnt morning.

When I think of "snow's arms" I think something more
"nurturing" and passive, or protective and covering
like "The old fox, weary of the chase, lay down to
slumber nestled in snow's arms." Or "the fallen log,
held tightly in snow's arms, ..."

Maybe snow's anger for avalanche?
