“Winter set in awfully early this year. Ten days before Christmas we had a big snowstorm—at least we thought it big at the time. As it happened, it was only a prelude to the real performance. It was fine the next day, and Ingleside and Rainbow Valley were wonderful, with the trees all covered with snow, and big drifts everywhere, carved into the most fantastic shapes by the chisel of the northeast wind. Father and mother went up to Avonlea. Father thought the change would do mother good, and they wanted to see poor Aunt Diana, whose son Jock had been seriously wounded a short time before. They left Susan and me to keep house, and father expected to be back the next day. But he never got back for a week. That night it began to storm again, and it stormed unbrokenly for four days. It was the worst and longest storm that Prince Edward Island has known for years. Everything was disorganized—the roads were completely choked up, the trains blockaded, and the telephone wires put entirely out of commission.” Rilla of Ingleside
fanfic plot:
Gilbert escorts Anne to Avonlea to stay with Diana & Fred. Both are there to collect them from the train station. When they arrive at Lone Willow the Wrights help settle them in then announce they have to visit Orchard Slope to make a short visit to Minnie Mae and Diana’s unwell mother. Gilbert offers to go but they insist she’s ok, just old and cranky - they’ll return for supper. After they leave a snow storm comes in making it impossible for Diana and Fred to return leaving Anne and Gilbert alone to confront unspoken fears and their grief since losing Walter.
