The caverns of the Covenant are bitterly cold. Food is monotonous - mostly salted fish and whatever grain and root vegetables were stored over the summer. Some cheese and perhaps salted goat or mutton.
Travel is possible to Venosc, but not much further, and even that short journey is difficult and tiresome - and carts cannot make the trip.
The crops that are to be grown just below the lake are planted. These are primarily wheat and rye and maybe some oats. Vegetables are also be planted. Perhaps even a few flowers, Venosc is famed for its beautiful flowers, and the village provides some mountain varieties.
Temperatures are still cold, especially under the lake, but not as bitter; averaging out at 3C/39F. Cold rains average about 5-6cm/2-3 inches per month.
Temperatures warm to an average of 10C/50F, which means during the day the temperature is in the 15-20C/60-70F range. These are the rainy months, with double to triple the montly precipitation of the previous seasons.
Toward the end of Summer, the harvest starts to come in.
The temperatures drop dramatically from an average of 8C/47F at the start of autumn to -1.5C/29F at the end, as winter comes on. Precipitation drops off as well, back to 70cm/3 inches or so.
By the end of fall, the little valley is mostly snowed in.
