trying to catch dawn

A written picture is to be centre this time and not a photo, as it would be usual. Why a written picture? Once I experienced a situation with a very special mood, although there was nothing extraordinary. I wanted to remember it, but had no camera at hand for keeping it. So then I tried to capture it with words for still being able to remember it.
Everyone who has ever tried to catch, to secure a certain mood, situation or memory to remember it, will know how difficoult this is, even if it is fresh in one's mind. Words won't fit properly and you can't find those you are looking for ... words are just not enough, but sometimes you have to deal with them. Especially when there's nothing available but a pen and some paper.
Here's my try:

The dawn comes and it's as cold as ice. In some corners there's still a thin layer of snow laying on the ground, elsewhere it's not there anymore. Not that it had melted, the temperature would be far too low for this, the dry snow has simply been blown away by the wind.
One can hear the ripple of the snowy crystals, they're coming down almost crumbly. The frosty wind is blowing in my face painfully icy. I feel like It slowly goes stiff in the cold, that now even is creeping through my gloves.
The wind blows freshly fallen ribbons of snow around in a jumble, here and there he drives the pulvery fringes.
Tears well up in my eyes, I narrow them and try to see. The tears flow over and on my face they leave traces which almost immediately begin to burn. I try to wipe them away, but the rough wool of my gloves only worsens it. New tears come and my whole face is burning in the cold wind. Don't wipe them away, the friction hurts and the burning tears remain. Will they really become ice on my skin?
The lights of houses, cars and streetlights are already lit. They're warm, glowing spots in the purpleblue dawn that envelopes everything of this grey winter's day.

  

This photo has nothing to do with the described situation, but I thought it supported some aspects of it. And by the way, I don't think I'd be successfull at trying to reproduce a photo that would fit exactly - it has been a moment more or less unique, the reason why I had wanted to capture it in the first place.
