Read the following passage from Ernest Hemingway's novel The Sun Also Rises. In it, Hemingway convey gloominess and dread by descibing the weather.

"In the morning it was raining. A fog had come over the mountains from the sea. You could not see the tops of the mountains. The plateau was dull and gloomy,and the shapes of the trees and the houses were changed. I walked out beyond the town to look at the weather.The bad weather was coming over the mountains from the sea.

Write a passage that conveys a mood by descibing the weather.
