I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'reconsidering walking' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'in the snow' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is present in the answer.
'snow' could be 'c' (synonyms) and 'c' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
