معنی
Stating that it is currently snowing.
زمینه فرهنگی
In Spain, snow is common in the north and the center (like Segovia or Ávila), but very rare on the Mediterranean coast. When it snows in Madrid, it's a major news event. In the south (Patagonia), snow is a way of life. Bariloche is the 'snow capital'. Saying 'está nevando' there is common from June to August. Snow is rare in most of Mexico, occurring mainly in high-altitude areas like the Nevado de Toluca. Most Mexicans see snow as a special travel experience. In countries like Colombia or Ecuador, snow only exists on the 'picos nevados' (snowy peaks) of the Andes. For people in the cities, 'está nevando' is something they only see on TV.
Add 'mucho'
To say it's snowing hard, just add 'mucho' at the end: 'Está nevando mucho'.
No 'It'
Never start the sentence with 'Lo' or 'Ello'. Just start with 'Está'.
