Compose a short description of a chilling scene outside town with pine trees, snow, and birds.

Branches of pine trees reach out like ghostly arms dripping with a frosting of ice crystals. They sag slightly under the weight of the snow, and as an occasional clump falls off, it causes the limb to spring up, creating a miniature wintry squall. Nearby stands the massive walls that cordon off the town and several birds perch along the top, taking advantage of its cleared, windswept surface.
