Año de nieves, año de bienes
 

What is the equivalent in English?

I know there is a saying in English that means the same, so move your asses as we say in Spain, and get it.

Can you describe what it means or how you would use it?

I'm not sure exactly either, but I think maybe Robindesbois is referring to one of those 'weatherwisdoms' you often find in 'almanacs'. :)

Something like: If there is a lot of snow at the beginning of the year, it will be a good year (or there will be a lot of good weather - something like this). We have sayings like this in Dutch about it freezing before Epiphany e.g. but I can't find a lot of truth in them :D

At any rate I am sorry but I have no idea about an English equivalent for this. :)

Empanadilla is right. If it snows a lot, it will be a good year harvestwise.

often heard among farmers: "snow is the poor man's fertilizer.".
