Thank you Rebba for Hindi and Panjabi translations. I enjoyed checking them too.

Hats off to Ion for the French translations! I would like, though, to offer a slightly different rendering:

la route interminable
la neige abondante ~ vieilles chansons
à la radio de la voiture

If, however, the intention was to emphasize the "endlessness" of the road and the snow, then the original position of the adjectives are in order to produce that particular stylistic effect!
