hurried along, closely muffled up, their faces aglow, noses red

a few minutes we were ready and started on our way to the 
ravine.  How the wind did blow!  We thought last Sat.
was a very windy day, but to-day we concluded was the
most windy day we had ever experienced on our trips.  We hurried
along very rapidly <s>and</s>, it did not take us long to reach the woods
where we were protected from the heavy wind.  But what a
racket he made passing over the tree tops!  Like an express
train passing over some high viaduct!  But how pleasantly
it sounded, protected from his fury as we were.  We frequently
stopped, only the better to hear him in his wild march.
The ground in the woods was more thickly covered with snow.
Could it have snowed longer here or was it because the wind
had had more effect on that on the roads, in the fields, and
in the city?  It is always pleasant to be in the woods when
this pretty pure white carpet is spread.  To-day it was especially
so, for we had not seen our pretty ravine, thus, since last year.
