... *points up* is that correct English? Looks weird...

Anyway, it's snowing. Winter is coming?

They're both good English words but I'm not sure what you mean by them together, and it's not a common phrase that I know of.

No, there does not seem to be a translation for Wetterkapriole...

Perhaps weather throwing a tantrum? Bitchy weather? Something like that...

Ah! I think you could say it's capricious weather. A 'weather caper' suggests someone else carrying out a trick using the weather, not the weather itself playing tricks.

Ah, thanks! ;) German has this sticking-words-together thing...

Yep :) I think this is a word order thing, though; the first word describes the second here, so if you want to describe the weather it needs to go second.
