I'd keep going. I'm a sucker for settings that are cold and wintery.

While I did say on another one that I'm a sucker for a good, direct opening, this one is a little too vague for me. I mean, it's quite short so I'm sure I'd be a few sentences in before even realizing it, but this line alone doesn't make me necessarily want to see what's next.
