What ❄️ means
The tone is usually light and seasonal. It is milder than 🥶, which shows a person feeling the cold, and less playful than ⛄. People also use ❄️ for air conditioning, cold drinks or a calm, cool vibe, and to describe someone acting cold or distant. In English slang, 'snowflake' can be an insult for a person seen as too sensitive, so context matters. On some social media it is also known as a coded reference to cocaine. In India and other warm places it often marks a trip to the hills, like Shimla, Manali or Kashmir.
In texting
Most of the time it just means it is cold, snowing or winter. It can also mean 'cool' or 'chill' in a relaxed way.
Sarcastic use
