As You Like It is a pastoral work, and thus set in an idyllic world of constant springtime or summer. Winter represents the harsh reality of hardship which is usually absent from such stories.

What does lusty winter Frosty but kindly mean in As You Like it mean?

The line is said by Adam, Orlando's elderly and faithful retainer. Adam is applying for the job as Orlando's servant. He says: Let me be your servant; Though I look old, yet I am strong and lusty; For in my youth I never did apply Hot and rebellious liquors in my blood, Nor did not with unbashful forehead woo The means of weakness and debility; Therefore my age is as a lusty winter, Frosty, but kindly. Let me go with you; I'll do the service of a younger man In all your business and necessities. Adam is saying that he's in pretty good shape for an old man. Winter is often a symbol for old age, but Adam says that he is like a robust winter: although his hair is white ("frosty") he is helpful ("kindly").
