I loved the wintry street and the idea that you energy drains because it's cold is awesome.
Maybe this could expand into a whole new area and require special skills to be comfortable there?
maybe a new animal and crop, sheep for wool and cotton plants - new skill, woolgathering, spinning, sewing...clothesmaking to make winter gear to keep you warm.
Could also lead to some clothes designing, colours patterns etc which from the interest in the vanity i assume would go over well!
