Grayday mentioned it must have been a cold, wet winter, and Adeline cranked her head to see him. What are winters like? she asked. Being born this past March, she had never experienced one. She didn't know what real cold was, or what snow was, or what lakes were like when they froze over. This glacier was pretty similar to a frozen lake, though she didn't realize that.

She shrugged with her right shoulder, the good one that was currently not enjoying the coolness of the frozen earth beneath her. I dunno, she replied. I wonder how come it doesn't melt, she added. The surrounding earth had been hot during the summer, but as far as she knew, this had remained frozen.
