I listened to Michelle Pavers' "Dark Matter" on an audiobook a while ago and was struck by how much impact her descriptions of both weather and terrain had.
The story relates a ghost story on an arctic island and when setting off in the car I had the heater on a temperature which was comfortable, by the time I'd arrived at my destination it was about 15deg (real degs, not farenheit ones) higher and I was still chilled.
The novel I'm planning would be influenced massively by the weather and terrain so was hoping for some pointers towards novels in which these things are, if not the MC, then certainly their plucky sidekick.
