Very visual piece - I felt as if I should grab my scarf. Growing up in the Adirondacks, the cold, snow and icy winds were invigorating and your piece bought back those wonderful memories.

You engaged your reader nicely. A very enjoyable read. AT=/

Zanya; I really enjoyed your short piece on winter and especially enjoyed you tying in Wordworth's "Song to a Snowdrop" which tied in your short piece very well And added a special flavor to your imagery. Your imagery was beautiful and very descriptive as well as exquisitely expressive and gave me the feeling as though I was there experiencing the adventure. Your writing was very congruent and clearly written and the topic was expressed in a way that it was understandable. Thank you for sharing and posting and may the good Lord be with you always Zanya.

good mood-creating description of setting with strong sensory and emotional appeal
you set the stage and introduce the narrator well
like a well-cut diamond, it blows - add the comma
I really like the way the details make me feel as if I'm there

Thius was an enjoyable slice of a cold January morning.

The writing was good, producing good imagery and scene setting. Great use of descriptive language giving the reader a real fell.

Nicely done
