A joy hard-learned in winter was the warming of the bed
You'd shake for minutes there and move your legs

The rapid-fire snowballs work as intended, Noe's shrieks confirming hits to Koa's satisfied ears. "Two - one!" he taunts her playfully between pelted snowballs, laughing as his sister squeals and flees.
He's quick but she's clever, darting around behind him when he's determined to stay still. He doesn't realize it, either, having leaned down to gather more ammunition just as she slipped behind his back. By the time he looks up she's all but vanished - that is, until the snowball whumps between his shoulder blades, thrown by an unseen force. "Attacking from behind? Sneak," he calls out, dropping snowballs in his surprise. "Guess that means you've got my number, huh? Not much I can do from here." Slowly Koa raises his arms, not turning back to face his sister.
Perhaps that's because he knows she'd be able to read on his expression what's about to come next.
There's a rustling in the snowbank behind Noe, and then Pipsqueak emerges in a burst of fluff and wings and snow. The latter which she tries to hurl at her human's sister using wings and tail. She chortles and trills delight at the game, not particularly skillful in her onslaught but more than making up for it in enthusiasm. At the same time Koa pivots around, scooping up his own ammunition for what he hopes to be a surprise attack while his sister is distracted by the abominable snow noodle.

Wrap the blanket over you and keep your head within
Let your breath heat the air until you'd feel it getting thin
