Never had he thought that snow could come down sideways, though down it must have come to grow so deep so quickly. And never had he felt such bitter cold. His teeth were chattering hard enough to crack, and it wasn't until Boromir stopped to kneel before him and snug the hood of his cloak tighter against his ears that the spasms eased. He watched the Man through snow-laden lashes, too cold to protest having his mittens adjusted like a child gone numb-fingered from a snowball fight, and too breathless from the mountain and the wind for words of gratitude.
