Commentary for August 22, 2022:
In the original
2004 version of this story, Angel Island was already laden with snow
before it crashed. I changed that for the 2018 version and repeated
that decision for this version, because I figured Angel Island must
have its own microclimate. It’s up in the air, pretty high above the
ground, we can assume, given that it’s often depicted as floating
amongst or even above the clouds. One would assume that would make
it pretty cold up there all the time. Look at the highest mountains,
which are covered by ice caps year round, because the higher up you
go, the colder the air becomes. If Angel Island isn’t covered in ice
and snow year round (and, with the exception of one region, it isn’t), then there must be some natural,
artificial, or mystical process that keeps its climate more
temperate, and that’s why I decided it wouldn’t be covered in snow
just because it’s winter in the northern hemisphere. (Moreover, it’s
orbit around the planet crosses the equator anyway, so it would
eventually cross into a region where it’s summer). Of course, now
the island’s at sea level and snow is falling where it’s landed,
it’s starting to accumulate there, as you can see. |
