It came very fast and the sun went a dull yellow and then everything was gray and the sky was covered and the cloud came on down the mountain and suddenly we were in it and it was snow . The snow slanted across the wind , the bare ground was covered , the stumps of trees projected , there was snow on the guns and there were paths in the snow going back to the latrines behind trenches .
Оно пришло очень быстро, солнце стало тускло-желтым, а потом все стало серым, небо заволокло, облако спустилось с горы, и внезапно мы оказались в нем, и пошел снег. Снег шел по ветру, голая земля была покрыта, пни деревьев торчали, на орудиях лежал снег, и в снегу шли тропинки, ведущие к уборным за траншеями.
