While the third challenge started off on a rather cold note, the heating charms casted on you turn things around. Your shivering lessens upon each cast and it becomes easier to hold onto your wand. The moment the hot-air charm is directed at the snow, it begins to melt. The snow around you that was knee-deep before is much easier to walk through, though it is only a small circumference and the snow you had melted quickly turns to ice. It was a good thing Henshu was casted, for the strong wind suddenly coming from the west would have easily knocked you over.

As you trudge through the snow drift, that western wind continues to blow with consistency. In spite of the warming charms, the bitter air of the wind manages to bite at your cheeks, stinging them ever so slightly as it blows snow in your face and makes it even harder for you to move forward. However, just as it becomes almost unbearable, the wind ceases. Before you can thank Merlin, though, the gale starts up again, this time coming from the north.

Could this wind have a deeper meaning behind it? Or is its changing directions a norm in this frozen land?
