It speaks of the spiritual estate of men at the first coming of Christ. Jesus came when men's hearts were hardened to God. It was a spiritually "bleak winter." The hearts of men were hard as ice to the things of the Lord. And there was little earthly hope for a remedy to the situation. The coming of Jesus Christ radically changed years of "falling snow." The verse is analagous to CS. Lewis' book The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe where the entire land of Narnia is in a perpetual state of winter because of the White Witches rule over Narnia.
The first verse of the song is also meant to contrast with the second verse. His first coming was with great humility and with little fanfare. While as His second coming, "heaven and earth will flee away."
