To me, this song is pretty simple. The lyrics tell the story of an elderly couple from the point of view of the husband. This couple has been together for many years, thru thick and thin. Think of your elderly grandparents, who are nearly incapable of self care. Thru the lyrics, it is apparent that the wife suffers from either dementia and/or alzheimer's. The snow and cold in this story is actually age, and its affect on our bodies...slowing us down as the years pile on. She is called both Misbeliever and Miss Believer, which describes her perfectly as she often forgets who her husband is (and sometimes remembers) as anyone who has ever had a loved one with alzheimer's would know the emotional pain involved. The words "Inside her head, in the winter of dead" only lead credibility to the fact that age (winter) has taken her mind (memory).
The song ends with this:
We get colder
As we grow older
We will walk
So much slower
Meaning he will remain by her side, until age takes them both......

And e obvious. “We get colder as we grow older, so much love”. Colder referring to the snow again. The snow representing the end of life stages.
