Excerpt from Joan of Rainbow Springs It was Christmas Eve. The Snow King was abroad that night with a great, wild wind. As the night grew old, the wind gradually strengthened to a gale and turned the steady downfall of white snowflakes into a lashing scourge. It whipped the soft mantle of white from the earth and sent it swirling through the frigid air as if it regretted the moments spent in gentle drifting. Shrieking and howling, it rattled windows and tore at the roofs of the sedate white houses that flanked the main streets of the little town of Orion, Vermont, even as it rattled windows and tore at the roofs of other houses in many other towns, for the wind was on mischief bent that night. It swept up the tracks of the one car line Orion boasted, and took a fiendish joy in burying the cold rails under an icy shroud of white.
