Well, off the top of my head I can think of Hans Christian Anderssn's Ice Maiden and Snow Queen - not the Disney version Elsa but the actual one. Or maybe the Narnia Snow Queen in one case, since that is the more well known version. And then there's things like the Japanese Yuki-Onna, and I'm sure there are tons more fairytales involving snow and ice.

Or maybe they went with something a little more poetic, such as the Little Match Girl. That's a depressing story about a little girl who sells matches for a living but is homeless, so dies due to the snow and cold one winter. And in her last moments she dreams of being warm and loved. Could relate well to Willow if she's the young girl with dreams that were stifled and snuffed out by the cold (being Jacques in this scenario), and so who she was is dead and buried beneath the bitter woman who spends her time drinking in the garden.

Of course, that's pure speculation, but it's an interesting thought.
