Wintery Power Metal to Get Through a Texas Summer?

OK, so I'm sitting here and my every so often power metal bug bites. I'm not huge on the genre, but when I want to hear it, I want to hear it. I'm in TX (Austin) and we're in a string of 100+ days. I could throw some on some wintery, grim black metal, but it's not where my head is at. If some of you can recommend some wintery power metal, albums preferred. If the band doesn't so many ballads EVEN BETTER.
