Snow and ice





Darkened clouds hold snow and the rain falls. Snow flurries persist throughout the night and cover the ground with snow. All manner of creature silent during winter are vacant as the wind roars through blowing with the sound of ice and snow. Trees blow in the wind.

Snow falls and the wintery landscape establishes the beginning of long days of the cold dark months of snow. The middle of winter always seems the coldest, ice blows through the trees with snow. The dark trees seem bare and the cold of the landscape is desolate. Cold and ice breed ill feeling of darkened thoughts while clouds gather together. Cold howls through with wintery blasts ready for the silence.

Silent, long, winter months, follow and dark clouds persist. The unilluminating cold reeks of gloomy unlit days without sunshine but the nights are full of stars. The moon drifts often through the clouds and the sky seems to speak of former romantic landscapes and centuries of brooding thoughts. Lonely is the night on the cold, melancholic, nights. Silent hours traipsing through the snow cloud your mind with wintery thoughts and philosophy. Stars shine equations to you during the crisp nights and the trees stand silent. The wintery nights breathe snow and ice.
