The snow still hasn't stopped.
This winter's first snow has been going on for hours and hours and hours. When you first saw the soft pellets of snow falling outside, you'd been excited; but now you're starting to get sick of it. Does this qualify as a blizzard yet? If it doesn't, you don't know what does. Even so, you continue to watch the snow fall outside, your hands pressed against the freezing cold glass of the mansion's living room window as you sit on the couch.
"You know you look like a baby doing that." You hear a familiar voice snicker behind you. Looking over your shoulder, you realise that it's Ben, your best friend.
He smiles. "We're kinda stuck- you open the doors, it's just a wall of snow..." He moves to sit next to you, looking out the window same as you are. "We're gonna be trapped here for ages if this snow doesn't let up. Might as well do something other than stare at it."
