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 ‧:❉:‧

[Yuuri's shoulders lifts in a slight shrug, though he adopts a thoughtful look as he does it.]

The big crowds are part of it. There wasn't really anyone to go with either. My family has an inn to run, Minako-sensei has her studio... and my friends Yuuko and Nighigori got married and had their daughters pretty early, too. [Sipping at at his drink, Yuuri pauses.] Maybe Phichit and I could have gone, but we were busy keeping up with our training and studies the whole time.
