"Does it snow in the Northern Lands during winter? Does it freeze during the coldest times?" An Jiuyue asked again.
"Yes, it does."
The soldier leader nodded.
How could it not snow and freeze here? This is the Northern Lands, and it gets really cold in winter, the chilly winds are truly biting.
"From November, it starts to freeze. In years with a lot of rainfall, the ice can be really thick. It's only during great droughts that there is no rain in winter, and thus no ice."
An Jiuyue asked many more questions about the Northern Lands, and only then did she understand that the Northern Lands aren't always without water. In years of ample rainfall, there is plenty.
There are good years too, but it seems like this place is cursed, with a severe drought every few years.
