    Google seems to suggest the phrase can have several meanings, such as:

    -A blizzard or avalanche

    -Finnish guerrila fighters in the Russo-Finish War ( http://www.kevos4.com/Unit%20War%20History.htm )

    -Tuberculosis (as in the book at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0814719279/102-5917652-8698563 )
