Appropriate to remember the Winter of 2013 (and others). A well-done monoku and brevity piece. Cheers on your win.

andrea, this is cleverly written because you've used vivid contrast, black then white, and I also like your use of alliteration - congrats on your win! :)

Congratulations on your win. This is a very vivid line. Unfortunately, I am experiencing some of this in Colorado this time of the year.

love this one. A big winner here. Not sure if I got the hang of monoku from Soup's instructions on form.
