Snow Means Love/Playing With

Basic Trope: People in love in a snowy background.

• Straight: Two characters, that are either implicit or explicity in love, have a tender moment in a snowy scene.
• Exaggerated: Characters show no love unless in the snow.
• Justified: They met during a snowfall.
• Inverted: Two characters break up in the snow.
  • Snow Means Death
• Subverted: The characters in the snow then have an argument, become upset with each other, or another incident occurs which results in a Moment Killer.
• Double Subverted: After becoming upset with each other the characters somehow manage to reconcile in a snowy field.
  • Alternatively, they resolve things with a friendly snowball fight.
• Parodied: The characters realize that they are in love, and then it starts snowing... even if its summer.
• Deconstructed: At least one of them gets hypothermia as a result.
• Reconstructed: ...but, the other one nurses them back to health, and they grow closer as a result
• Zig Zagged: ???
• Averted: Two characters share several heart-to-heart scenes in the snow, however it is clear that they are not in romantically in love and/or have their respective relationships.
  • Alternatively; no important incidents happen in the snow, or the setting is a tropical area where there is no snow.
• Enforced: The writer fell in love and got together with his love in the snow, so he makes the Official Couple realize their feelings in the same place.
• Lampshaded: "And because this is the perfect ambiance for this, I have something to tell you..."
• Invoked: One character arranges a date with the other that includes a walk in the snow because he/she thinks it will be romantic.
• Defied: One character confesses his/her love to the other while walking in the snow only to be rejected because it was a one-sided love all along.
• Discussed: "I hope Amy and Bob get together in the snow! It'll be about time. I just hope they aren't too cold..."
• Conversed: ???
• Played for Laughs: Amy and Bob confess their love in the snow -- and then their friends decide to celebrate with a snowball fight.
• Played for Drama: Amy and Bob get together on the snow, but the light snow turns into a snowstorm. As the couple tries to find their way through the storm, they end up getting separated from each other.
