There is a mermaid reaching out for someone who has a spotlight on his head. Doesn't look like winter to me - looks underwater.
I once saw snow in April in the dessert. I was there and it was warm, and then suddenly it wasn't, a light bit of snow fell softly on everything, and then the cloud blew away. At least I think it was snow, I don't have any experience with the stuff, for all I know it was alien dust. My blood is thin, I'm not sure I can handle the big-kid version of snow.
There was this outdoor ice skating rink that opened up in my hometown for the holidays when I was a teenager. Seemed like a waste of energy keeping that thing running in above freezing temps. Anyway, my conclusion was that humans don't belong on ice.
Yeah, totally a spotlight in there. The light reflects off the circle but also flows downwards and to the right. I had the source lit up bright white, just a small dot, but it was overpowering.
Some folks associate blue with cold. I only started talking about winter because I needed some words here to go with the art. That's just me rambling about stuff.
There's a desert of sorts here, southwest corner of the province. Small cacti grow there, very dry, but it still snows and freezes over.
Humans don't belong on ice without skates. People here drag small houses onto the lakes, light fires inside, get drunk, and fish through holes. You don't need skates for that.

Yeah, that downward light to the right seems to bring attention to the mermaid, and therefore giving the story two characters, in my mind anyway.
Your winter sounds like the stuff we see in children's books. It sounds wonderful and horrible all at once.
I was watching TV while I was in labor with my daughter, and there was an episode of a sitcom playing wherein the people are in one of those houses on a lake, and now I associate that image with pain :)

That show is probably still better than that alligator hunting show. Shoot him! Shoot him! Git em! Yee haw! Sorry. Had to.

Yeah, can't watch that. Shiver. Your talking about the one in the Louisiana swamp, where they give subtitles? I love those crazy accents. The most country Floridian accent can't touch that level of incomprehensibly.

I like the accents as well. Hilarious how they add subtitles to that show. I can usually understand them. There are few accents in Canada, on the east side; I can't understand them very well. Accent combined with a lot of local slang. It's own language basically.

I have a bit of trouble understanding the Eastern US the farther north too.
A Canadian moved in near me recently. She had a Canadian flag on her porch so I developed expectations. But she basically sounds like me when I'm making an effort to speak clearly. Occasionally she has a word with a different sound and I think - there it is! Lol. I was overall very disappointed.

I had a friend who lived in Ohio. Her accent was thick. I didn't know they sounded like that, there, until I met her.

Apparently our North American voices are becoming more standardized. It's a shame. Hopefully those Ohioians will carry on the torch.
I can imagine a person from Ohio yelling at me in a thick accent about how "Ohioian" isn't the correct term...
