Your question What is the real question under this one?

The spread

  1. What the season gives Quiet Fog Reduced visibility and the usefulness of going slower. What to avoid: Pretending to see clearly in the fog.
  2. What it takes Cold Snap A sudden tightening, temporary, and oddly clarifying. What to avoid: A three-day cold read as a three-month condition.
  3. What it asks of you Thaw Movement after stillness, and the mud that comes with it. What to avoid: Expecting the thaw to arrive already organised.
