parï¿½ka \'paï¿½r-ke\
[Aleut, skin, outer garment, fr. Russ, pelt, fr. Yurak]
1: a hooded fur pullover garment for arctic wear
2: a fabric pullover or jacket for sports or military wear 

Parka and winter.  Get it?  If so, you'll get a kick out of icicle, 
frozen-wasteland, subzero, abominable, bobsled, et al.
