Cool, cool. But again, it's important to mention those factors in some way! You said nothing about full-fledged snow that I recall reading, just that the lake was partially iced over, so I was missing that visual, as well as the terrain itself. Nothing on how difficult the path would be to navigate was mentioned. Remember, readers (including a partner in a roleplay) are not in your head! It's the job of a writer to paint a vivid picture with words. Missing descriptions or actions makes for missing visuals. I don't remember any snow being previously mentioned in past posts, either, other than noticeable in the distance, only the cold, but that could just be because it's been so long since I've read past posts. If that's the case, I apologize for my mistake with that sentence!
