It isnt dark or sunny, because it clearly states "hidden in mist and cloud". So for a while i was between misty and cloudy. However I believe it is misty, because cloudy normally means that the sky is clouded, and in the passage it says that it is hidden. Now, i dont know about you, but clouds in the sky have never hidden anything but the sun from me. I think it means that it was as if there was a cloud on earth and that the cloud of mist hid where the men of winter live. Therefore, I believe the answer is the second choice, misty. Hope that helps! Please vote this answer the branliest, too! :)
