A possible version:
Jane and I had been waking in the mountains when we noticed some dark clouds coming down the mountain. We decided to turn around and go home.
As we walked the clouds got nearer and nearer and the day grew darker. Then all of a sudden it began to snow. It was soon snowing so hard we couldn’t see very far in
