Once I opened the door, the (cries/howlings) of blizzard had me close it again. I cleaned the steam off the the only window of our small room, but I couldn't see anything (through/in) the darkness except for a (feeble/ faint/dim) stream of light (flickering / twinkiling /glittering / shimmering) from the distant.

Thanks in advance.
