A snowy landscape. The sky is the dark blue of early morning or evening. On the left side of the painting is a blurry suggestion of snow covered trees. On the right side is the dark outline of a house with snow on the roof. The house has two dark, arched windows. In the leftmost window is a single burning candle. Looming behind the candle is a large, shadowy silhouette with two dim gray eyes. In the sky, hovering around the house, are three white shapes that look vaguely like comets, except that they are clearly moving independently and of their own volition. They look almost as though they are trying to find a way into the house.

A bright sunny day: the sky is clear and blue, and the ground is covered with snow. On the left side of the painting is an enormous snowman. It is leaning forward, its stick arms raised menacingly. It has an open mouth, a carrot for a nose, and two black eyes. Snow is flying around it. It is leaning towards a person in front of it. The person is wearing dark pants, an orange jacket, and red mittens and hat, and is stepping back in shock, as though the snowman has only just come to life by the power of the great and terrible snow demons.

A snowy scene. In the foreground sits a person with a top hat on top of a large, muscular, brown creature that does not look like a horse. The creature has tall, pointed ears, no visible tail, and vaguely resembles a llama. It isn't one. Both the person and the horse are the same leathery brown color. In the background are a few dim, leafless trees with snow on the branches.

A snowy landscape: ground covered with snow; sky heavy with clouds; the blurry hints of snow-covered hills in the background. In the foreground stands a signpost with four snow-covered signs: a red one with angry icons and hazardous symbols, pointing right; a blue one with two round yellow eyes, pointing/looking left; a yellow one with the black silhouettes of Pac Mac and two ghosts, pointing right; and a green rectangular one with two buttons on it, one that says "OK" and one that says "Cancel".

A slate-gray night sky, almost completely overcast. The ground is covered in gray snow. A narrow, concrete building, perhaps two stories, stands in the middle of the scene. It has only one window set at the top. Sitting in the window, bathed in the glow of a screen, is Santa Claus. Extending from the right side of the building are several wire poles supporting a glowing neon star. Hung at the base of the building is a desolate string of colored Christmas lights. Parked behind the building is an Amazon delivery van. A single bright star is visible in the top right of the sky. This is mostly a gray drawing; the building and van are dark gray.

A tall, oddly narrow brick building in the middle of a snowy field. The sky is slate-gray, the way it is when snow is right around the corner. The building is roughly three stories tall, with a small closet-like door at the base and a single small window in the top right, directly under the pointed roof. The roof is covered with snow. The door is covered with illegible graffiti. The window is boarded up. Bolted to the right side of the building is a metal pipe chimney. While the building appears abandoned, there is smoke rising out of the top of the chimney, and numerous footprints in the snow around the door, implying that someone is inside. Most strangely of all is the sign—a slab suspended from a metal arm, similar to a shopkeeper's sign—extending off of the left side of the building, with the word "exit" on it. Behind the building is the blurry mound of a snow-covered hill, and then nothing: just the heavy gray sky. The building is drawn in black ink.

Huge, Stonehenge-like obelisks that form an archway that resembles the Greek letter Pi. This is because I'm a nerd and today is March 14. The arch has a layer of snow on top of it, stands in the middle of a snowy field on a gray day; the kind of day where the sky is the gray-white of an incoming blizzard. This was inspired by the fact that there is currently a heavy snowstorm going on outside my apartment. I love this weather and apparently I'm the only one.

An observatory on a snow-covered hill, with an unusually bright star gleaming in the sky (which is most likely a supernova and not a celestial omen if we're being coldly practical here)
