snowfall;

stage i; none, streets are already blanketed in white.
stage ii; very light and intermittent.
stage iii; light - moderate. lasts longer periods.
stage iv; continuous, heavy snowfall.
stage v; the hardest of cores - blizzards, snowstorms, you name it.

scenarios;

① fuck the police, this is the best time for a walk. hope you've got a nice thick coat on.

② stranded in the buttcrack of nowheresville? weren't you watching the time? now you've gone and missed that last bus out of there. or maybe you're lost, somehow. what do?

③ literally chilling, in this weather, is quite easy to do. sitting around relaxing in it is a wee more difficult, but sometimes much more enjoyable, especially if shelter can be found. the snow is beautiful to watch, after all.

④ the weather's not going to stop you. your snow fort's packed full of ammo and ready to go. those aren't snow angels over there; they mark where the poor souls you've downed have fallen. be careful with that snowman's head!!

⑤ you're about fifty miles from civilization but there's a roof over your head, so never mind the chilly draught, right? right. you mightn't be the only one lucky enough to stumble upon this little shelter, though. remember to share the blanket.

⑥ everyone stuck outside should be jelly. you've got a fireplace and hot cocoa and damn if it isn't awesome. a heater's not quite so romantic, but it'd do. there'd better be a backup generator in case the power trips.

⑦ mix and match, or make up your own ‧:❉:‧

She loved getting out in snow like this, when the rest of the city was tucked inside and the sidewalks were barely disturbed. It was coming down steadily, but not enough to make it irritating.

"Want to go for a walk?" she asked John from where she was reading at the window seat.

[gcpd]

"Hm?" John looked up from his laptop. He was sitting on the couch in front of the TV. John looked at her in question.

[inyourdreams]

"Do you want to go for a walk?" she asked again.

[gcpd]

"Oh uh." He looked out the window at the falling snow. "Sure. Why not?" John shut his laptop and set it down on the coffee table.

[inyourdreams]

"Great," she said with a grin before hopping off the seat and going to start bundling up.

[gcpd]

John got up too and followed her over to where their clothes were. He grabbed his parka and then his tattered snow boots.

[inyourdreams]

When she'd heard the upcoming weather forecast the day before, she'd taken a quick trip to Macy's to get herself a warm coat and snow boots. She pulled them on before adding a scarf, mittens, and hat.

She'd also stocked up on important things like Baileys, hot cocoa, marshmallows, cookies, and the entire series of MacGuyver on DVD.

[gcpd]

"You look cute," he said when she had her mittens, scarf, and hat on. All new purchases he noticed.

[inyourdreams]

"Thanks," she said. "You are going to put some gloves on right? Maybe even a hat?"

[gcpd]

"Yeah, if I can find them." There were still boxes in the corner of his apartment waiting to be put away. He looked into one of them marked clothes.

[inyourdreams]

"We don't need you getting sick," she said as she started looking through another box.

[gcpd]

"I know, I know," he said. John luckily found some gloves and a hat which he pulled on. "I don't think I have a scarf anywhere, maybe I lent it to someone," he said thoughtfully as he tried to remember what had happened to it.

[inyourdreams]

"Well, good thing I have an extra," she said as she went and pulled out a black and white checkered scarf before winding it around his neck.

[gcpd]

"Thanks." He smiled at her as he tucked the ends into his parka.

[inyourdreams]

She smiled back.

"Let's go!" she said as she took his hand and headed for the outside.

[gcpd]

John locked up before descending the stairs to the lobby and out. The street was deserted and the snow was falling. He looked up and down the street and was suddenly reminded of what had happened a year ago. A shiver went down his spine and it wasn't because of the cold.

[inyourdreams]

She looked around the street in a different way and then up at the falling snow before looking back at him with a smile. It faded a bit when she saw him.

"Everything okay?" she asked at the look on his face.

[gcpd]

"Huh? Oh, yeah everything's fine." He shrugged off the feeling. The past was the past.

[inyourdreams]

"Okay," she said as she took his hand to start walking. "It's beautiful isn't it?"

[gcpd]

He nodded. Some of the balconies above them were already sporting Christmas lights. John had never really made an effort in the past but now that he had Ariadne, he might as well.

[inyourdreams]

They walked along, their feet crunching in the snow, some of the only footprints on the street.

[gcpd]

"Wanna go buy some decorations later?" He asked.

[inyourdreams]

"Really? Definitely," she said. She hadn't wanted to push her version of Christmas on him, so she figured if he wanted things like a tree or lights that he would say so.

[gcpd]

Lights were fine with him. A tree, though...he wasn't sure if he wanted a tree in his - their apartment. If it would remind him too much of the Christmases where both his parents were still alive. His mother, he remembered, had always made an effort to go all out even though they didn't have the money to do so. But she was always insistent about having a Christmas tree. "Yeah, let's do it."
