My best guess is the kind of magic that Freya put on Baldur… that’s forbidden, bad, blood sacrifice type magic. Likely a powerful curse, and when powerful curses are broken, bad shit can happen.
Like maybe Baldur was slowly sucking away “energy” of the world tree and all the nine realms to sustain this magic, persisted for 100 years, and then was all unleashed at once.
That’s my best guess, anyhow.
Edit: I’m pretty sure the snow starts falling after the curse is lifted in the final few moments of Baldur’s life.
