In the "Concise Dictionary of European proverbs" I found the English versions of this saying,
http://books.google.com/books?id=HJ_...nes%22&f=false A good winter brings a good summer. A snow year, a good year. A snow year, a rich year. A year of snow, a year of plenty. Under water famine, under snow bread. I like one of the French versions, Anée neigeuse, anée frutueuse.

De nada, yerboso...
 (El diccionario del link en cuestión parace bastante completo... dicho sea de paso)
