Winter has Come (Open)
Who: You! (This post is meant to be a weather-related event that anyone can use. Elsa herself will have a top level.)
What: The first and last snows of a new winter fall in the month of March. It's quite heavy and very cold. Elsa's still working on her control. Might as well have some fun?
When: March 7-20, the beginning of spring.
Where: All around, though there's patches of warmth for those who don't feel like dealing with this sort of thing.
Warnings: If players choose to include it, feelings of melancholy are amplified during the snows. Please include warnings if you do anything rough in the scene. But otherwise, it's just snow and ice.
After about a week and the return of "her" priesthood, Elsa had finally felt the power of winter fully under her control. A few scattered flurries had fallen to herald the return of a god of winter. Now, however, she had been asked to exert her power and show the world that winter had, indeed, returned in force. The goal of this snow was to be cold enough to ensure that bugs in the spring wouldn't be too strong and that the spring would be a welcome reprieve.
But, between the fact that she had only just now returned and was still very worried about her sister and being trapped in this place, things weren't going according to plan. Heavy snowfalls began to land on the 7th and a bitter, fierce cold covered the land through to the end of winter. Thankfully, the throne of spring had been claimed, but for the remaining weeks of winter, the land would be covered in a heavy blanket of snow. The whole of the waters around the city froze over and nearly a foot of snow fell. Everything, however, had a dirty feel because of the air quality and the brown, brackish waters that were feeling.
With it, the whole environment just felt a bit depressing. Winter had come, and it would freeze deep into the soil. It was going to end soon, hopefully, but it wasn't necessarily the most pleasant of sights.
So, what's happening?
-A foot of snow or more falls and stays through from the 7th until the 20th. It will melt with the official start of spring and temperatures will abruptly begin to warm once again.
-Temperatures are well below freezing in town, the waters near town are frozen entirely, but because there is no water deity or air deity, the snows and ice are very dirty and the air quality is still poor.
-Melancholy is easier to feel (though not everyone will feel it if you'd rather not), and it is very easy to feel the season is a bit more depressing than normal.
Options:
Hey, it's a winter thread. Want to make slightly dirty snowmen? Snow angels? Snowball fights? Drink hot cocoa to get past the weather? Come complain to Elsa in the temple of winter? Go ice skating on frozen, muddy waters? Go nuts. The world is your oyster. Feel free to do a starting post with your own prompts and bring your friends. I'll have a top level for Elsa and can happily join yours too. She will be a little mopey because this doesn't go quite as well as she'd hoped.

"Yes, I think we'd best!"

"Thank you, Alva," she said, returning the woman's bow before motioning for Zelda to take one. She coughed once into her hand. "Alva, my representative, this is Zelda." And in the back of her mind, she was trying to figure out if Zelda had told her if she'd claimed a throne herself. She'd been so busy lately with the strangeness that it had slipped her mind.

"Thank you, Alva." She wraps the blanket tight around her shoulders. Inside and away from the wind she's much colder than she had realized.
"Your temple is lovely, Elsa."

"Thank you, Zelda. It is starting to remind me of a palace I once built. I feel, almost, like I want to do that again here if I can but I do not think I have the strength just now, and I do not want to risk a problem."

"When I first accepted my powers was the same night I ran from home and my duties, afraid that all would despise me for my magic. I fashioned a castle for myself in the snows. It was beautiful, if a little cold and distant."

"It certainly is lovely."

"Eternal winter would be a disaster for the ecology of this place." Hebra is well suited to cold temperatures, but this place is practically a beach.

“I think you should. You must have these powers for a reason. Surely only good can come of learning more about them.”

"I look forward to it."

Hmmm. "Well, maybe not with the icicles."

It doesn't sound like she means the candy.
