What is the meaning settling? Rain becomes sleet and then snow, at first tuning to slush in the streets, but soon settling, with severe blizzards and snowdrifts in the far north.

'Settling' with weather usually means improving. It can mean that the wind is dropping. But in your case, since the sentence is referring to snow, it can mean that the rain/snow will reduce or stop. (edit) Another possible, and in fact on re-reading, the probable meaning is that the snow is settling on the ground, i.e. not melting and turning to slush.

Hi Talita, it has several meanings. Can you tell us more? Examples: you drop a bowl on the floor. It rolls around for a few seconds before it settles. Your house foundation is cracking. The house is settling. I purchased investments and they are settling tomorrow. I wanted a Cadillac but settled on a Chevy.
