Fill- Challenge 79 (original)

 Mandy was treading home as fast as she could.  With one gloved hand in Jason's and one in her coat pocket, the friends were trying their hardest to escape the Arctic blast that had overtaken their small town.  Mandy shivered as she ran; seeing the tiny white flakes fall like ice cream sprinkles from the sky only to land on her face.   She could hear the crunch underneath her feet, stopping temporarily because she could feel her toes beginning to go numb inside her black boots.  Jason's toboggan was slowly being dusted with white as they drew closer and closer to the neighborhood. On either side of the street, droves of children could be seen making angels and sledding. 
At last, Mandy and Jason were home, sitting around a fire, with cups of cinnamon hot chocolate. 

(note: Toboggan is the local- at least where I live, word for a knit cap)
