A blizzard night in a mountain cabin
Lie warm in bed inside this mountain cabin in a snowstorm, free to enjoy in your browser, while the blizzard roars outside. Log walls rise around you under a low timber ceiling, and snow is heaped against the window.
Out there, the storm never pauses. Its deep roar comes muffled through the thick logs, and fine snow sweeps past the glass with a dry, grainy hiss. In the stone fireplace, a small fire crackles, and a log sinks with a soft crunch and a little spray of sparks.
A hard gust slams into the cabin, and the window frame shudders. The iron latch on the door clicks. Another gust whistles around the corner and climbs to a howl, and snow slides off the roof with a hush. You think of the high, empty peaks out in the dark, and the small fire feels like the center of the world.
To hear only the crackling hearth, choose Fire only. If you want the storm without the fire, choose Blizzard only.
