Old church Slavonic, and from there to Bosnian, Croatian, Czech, Slovak, Serbian and Polish. So people from all those countries will claim the word as their own! Yes, it means winter.
I came across those superb pictures too and enjoyed them, sitting in sub-tropical heat!

Zima is winter in Slavik languages such as Russian and Serbian and Slavonian.

Yes, it does. In Russian, Ukrainian, may be Belorussian.
