This song clearly convey's Lana's wish for there to be snow in tropical climates in the winter so that Floridians (and Colombians) can enjoy the White Christmases Lana was so fond of growing up in the Northeast.
The lyric "white lines, pretty baby, tattoos" is obviously a metaphor for snowflakes, as each one is unique, like a tattoo. The line "turning diamonds into snow" further supports this theory. Lana mentions "Guns in the summertime" to further assert her distaste for warm, sunny weather. I can only assume that "yayo" is a phrase combining the words "YAY, snOw!"
So I think this is on the right track, but is missing a lot of important details. First of all, you're right that it is about climate, but she wants to move somewhere warm and is too fat to do so. The word kilos is in the title, and is a definite hint from Lana this is about an obese person trying to lose weight by going on a diet. This individual wants to move to a tropical climate and have "guns in the summertime" (guns being toned arm muscles).

The narrator is clearly obsessed with food: in the first verse she mentions baking soda, a common ingredient in baked goods which are not typically allowed on diets. The mention of Cherry Cola Lime is an even more important reference because it serves as a flashback to when the narrator was less healthy and consumed carbonated beverages filled with sugar- the reference to prison in the following line sends this point home. Sugar consumption historically put her into the prison of obesity.
So basically I totally agree with your thinking that weather is involved, but also think you didn't correctly assess the climate she wanted to be in, or why. Good effort though. She's just a girl that's too fat to live in Florida, but is going on a diet so she can.
White lines are not obviously snowflakes, they're actually white lines of cocaine and she definitely does not have a distaste for sunny weather, as the setting is meant to be sunny and hot. When she says snow she's still referencing cocaine because it's also white. Yayo is another slang for cocaine, not a mix of yay snow.

I agree with hashtaggenius. I think you are really grasping at straws trying to make this about drugs, clouds1. Your insistence to make everything about drugs is sad, and you even took the adorable "yay snow" abbreviation and made it into a sickening nickname for illicit substances. If you need to talk to someone, I'm here for you. I'm worried you may have a drug problem. Hopefully once you see this song is about a chubby girl who wants to lose weight to move to Florida, everything in your life will become clear.

One last thing: Lana is a recovered alcoholic. These sorts of analyses undermine her sobriety and I find it to be unkind and offensive. Please think more thoughtfully about the feelings and points of view of others before acting in the future.
Umm what... geniusbetch, you must live in a box. I think that you two are obviously trying way too hard to interpret this song. First of all, you don't know me therefore don't accuse me of "making everything about drugs." Sure it's "cute" she thinks it's "YAY, snOw" but it's not. YAYO IS COCAINE, I didn't just make that up for the sake of it being my own interpretation.
Second of all, maybe you should follow your own advice and "think more thoughtfully about the feelings and points of view of others before acting in the future," seeing as how you...

I don't have one, but if I did thanks for your concern. Whatever let's you sleep at night.
Maybe when you actually read the lyrics and realize some things she says like hmm idk "DOPE FIENDS" and "you SNORT it like a champ" THEN you can come talk to me. Just because Lana is a recovering alcoholic does not mean she can't sing about whatever the fuck she wants. Her lyrics are explicit and constantly about drugs, alcohol and sex and if you don't realize after the first listen of Florida Kilos that it's about cocaine, then maybe you should not be listening to Lana at all.
I just want to say that this whole conversation y\'all had made my day. Its hilarious, I haven\'t laughed so much in a long time. geniusbetchon and hashtaggenius, you truly are geniuses. Thank you.
