I was frozen solid. Ice sickles decroaded my eyelashes, I couldn’t move my toes. “This is fine.” I said as my breath became visible in this fridged air.

I had lied, this wasn’t fine. I was used to the hot and humid weather of the country. Not this. I had been so eager to volunteer to go on a trip to the artic, not sure why no one else wanted to go, now I understood why. If only I had gotten th...

Who on earth would want to spend there winter holidays in Scotland.

It’s not even a winter wonderland like mum promised, its just slush and fog. I knew it was going to be cold but nobody warned be it would be below negative freezing. If someone had I would have packed and actually coat instead of just cropped jumpers.

I was fine with staying in the Canary Islands, you know, where I actually live....

“You alright?”

“I’ve never seen anything like this!” Wren gasps, twirling around like some little ballerina. “It’s so white… what is it?”

“Snow.”

“Snow? Like the black stuff that falls from the sky sometimes?”

“Black stuff… are you not thinking of ash?”

“Nah, Mum says it’s snow. Says it’s too evil where I’m from for it to be white. That’s why I’m here.”

“So is winter cold?”

“Hm? Nah.” She ...

The wood planks groan with each step as I make my way across the front porch. I halt on the first stair and watch as a cloud of perspiration builds with each breath. A cold breeze blows my soft blonde hair across my face, lightly kissing my icy cheeks. Peering out over the front yard, I shield my eyes as the sun deflects beams of light off the white blanket below. Taking my first step, I feel my f...

Emily dropped her book on the floor - the thud made her roommate Kari jump - and darted over to the window. She pressed her palms to the glass, leaning up onto her tiptoes.

“It’s snowing!” she squealed. “That’s snow!”

“Yeah, it’s finally cold enough.” Kari swung down from the bunk bed. “Just little flurries, though.”

Emily’s breath was fogging up the window. She wiped it clear again with her sl...

Jeanna’s chest tightened thinking about leaving her warm secure cabin on the river barge to set off into a land of ice and danger.

Back in Kaldura, her life was built for the hot, coastal landscape. Homes were open and airy to let the breeze in, a single story on stilts, and cooking domes outside to keep the heat away from our beds. Kaldura was paradise.

But even mild Kaldurian winters could be...

The hot summer days of Ziironie do not nearly compare to the winters of Yance. I think I might have died the second I stepped of aircraft, but if Zufu could cope with this for her entire childhood I think I could cope with the cold for a week. A week. It wasn’t that long was it? I just had to get The Last Phoenix and bring it back to Ziironie. Then all would be well. Easy.

I took a deep breath, r...

With the winter olympics going on, I have never experienced a real, cold Canadian winter. This was my first time competing in the olympics and first time leaving the great state of Hawaii. I didn’t know what to expect. As soon as we entered Canadian Airspace, I stared out the window and saw all the beautiful mountains that everyone always talked about. When the plane landed, I gathered my stuff an...

(Rushed sadly)

Into the snow

And away goes the heat

The frost comes in

And I get beat

The heat got beat

And now I’m frozen

It’s like the ice

Made me chosen...

I am too tired to write anything so let’s just pretend that i did it. 🙏...
