The air outside held a bite and chill common to the late day in November. In fact, a handy thermometer would read 0 in Celcius. Freezing weather, though not quite snow weather, not yet.
The grass outside was sere and brown, and the lake was starting to gather thin sheets of ice along the shore. Breath fogged out white and ghostly and the sun was already setting, even at this early hour. There was a woman, clouds of breath wreathing away from her kneeling form as she watched that thin ice form...
Just watched. Winter was coming, though you couldn't tell it by her barefoot presence. Winter was coming...and ice could be just as entertaining as snow.
