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 ‧:❉:‧

[ Faraday lets out a low whistle, stamping snow from his boots. ]

Good Lord, you're surly.

[ He says it with a hint of amusement, pausing to dig the heel of his palm into the sore muscle of his thigh. The wound had healed, but the bullet that had torn through his leg did him few favors in the cold. After a few careful stretches, bracing himself against the wall for balance, he trusts his leg to bear his weight. He crosses the room, seeking out the pantry. ]

What's gotten into you, anyway?
