Please translate the poem "The city towers are full of jade railings, and the snow is clear but not too cold"

Translation: The whole city is dyed white with snow and the railings are as white as jade. When it snows, the sky is clear and it will no longer be cold.

From one of Song Dynasty Huang Tingjian's "Three Poems of Ciyun Zhang Secret School's Joy of Snow".

Original text:

The city towers are full of jade railings, and it is snowy and sunny but not too cold. Moisten the bamboo roots and fatten the wax shoots, and warm the vegetable shells to help the spring dish.

There are many things to do in front of you, but less to see and travel, and you have no worries in your chest and a wide capacity to drink. I heard that if the pears pressed into the sand have moved, they will have to whip their horses and trample the mud to see.

Translation:

The whole city is dyed white with snow and the railings are as white as jade. When it snows, the sky is clear and it will no longer be cold. The roots of the bamboos are moistened by the snow, allowing the bamboo shoots to grow. The weather is starting to get warmer, and the vegetables are getting longer and better, which heralds the arrival of spring. There are many things to do in front of you but not enough to watch and play. If you don't have any worries in your heart, you will naturally drink more. I heard that the pressed sand pears had begun to move, so I whipped up my whip and drove my horses through the spring mud to watch them.
