December 9: Let It Snow

Thanks to Dickens growing up during the Little Ice Age, Christmas is a holiday with its own weather pattern. (Halloween has dark and stormy nights, of course.)

9: Let It Snow
“The cold never bothered me anyway...”

Christmas comes in winter in the northern hemisphere, and while British winters are more likely to have snow later on, the beautiful blanket of strangeness would seem to make the world peaceful.

In Christmas stories it’s often actively magical - see Buffy The Vampire Slayer’s one Christmas episode, Amends.

Snow and ice can affect movement, muffled sound making stealth easier but giving much clearer footprints or risking loss of footing, as well as the chill affecting the body.

And consider characters with cold powers. You can fight with it, or create art...
