Write a detailed description of a chilling scene outside a wilderness snow field with a stone pillar.
assistant
A small rocky outcropping with towering drifts of snow to either side provides limited shelter and respite from the elements. Plummeting temperatures, ferocious winds and swirling clouds of ice particles make the night all the more dangerous. The distant mountain peaks, once visible, are now lost in the blinding sleet. A dark stone pillar, lost in night's shadow, lies partially buried in a snow drift by the outcropping.
