And how about:

Finding suitable accomodation continued difficult for Sarah.

Do you prefer the infinitival?

Finding suitable accomodation continued to be difficult for Sarah.
i would say "the weather is still cold". i think you think in your own language, this approach is always troublesome. in english you dont need to use "continue" to express progression. it is not like french. the more common way of expressing what you want to say is to use the word "still". try this: "finding a suitable accomodation was still difficult for sarah." or " it was still very hard for sarah to find an accomodation"
what is your first language?
