Nature[[edit] | [edit source]]
The Fifteenth Doctor speculated that the snow was a warning to stay away from the day of Ruby's birth. (TV: Space Babies [+]Loading...["Space Babies (TV story)"]) He would come to realise that the snow bleeding through time, linked to Ruby's buried memory of the event, was evidence that the fabric of Time on that night was "raw and (…) open". (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Loading...["The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)"]) Sutekh's fascination with the mystery of Ruby's mother, along with everybody else, imbued the night with a retroactive significance which manifested in the real world, "making [Louise Miller's] sheer existence more powerful than Time Lords and gods". (TV: Empire of Death [+]Loading...["Empire of Death (TV story)"]) Indeed, Maestro had recognised the "power" in the song "Carol of the Bells", which also manifested alongside the snow, was "power like him", meaning "the Oldest One", head of the Pantheon: (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Loading...["The Devil's Chord (TV story)"]) Sutekh.

History[[edit] | [edit source]]
On Christmas 2004, there was a snowstorm when Ruby Sunday was left at the Ruby Road church. (TV: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (TV story)"]) After the Fifteenth Doctor rescued Ruby from the Goblins, the snow began falling faster and thicker. Ruby Sunday's mother seemed to almost flicker like a ghost in the snowfall. (PROSE: The Church on Ruby Road [+]Loading...["The Church on Ruby Road (novelisation)"])
The snow first reappeared on Baby Station Beta. The Doctor was visibly perturbed by this, and it was accompanied by a vision of the moment he went back in time to save Ruby as a baby from the Goblins. Ruby's mother, in this vision, turned back around and pointed straight at him, (TV: Space Babies [+]Loading...["Space Babies (TV story)"]) which was later acknowledged by the Doctor as being different from how he originally remembered it. (TV: The Legend of Ruby Sunday [+]Loading...["The Legend of Ruby Sunday (TV story)"]) The snow also appeared in the TARDIS control room as the Doctor scanned Ruby's biology. (TV: Space Babies [+]Loading...["Space Babies (TV story)"])
The snow appeared in EMI Recording Studios when Maestro captured Ruby. Maestro discovered that Ruby had a song hidden deep inside her - the Carol of the Bells, which had played when she was left at the church. (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Loading...["The Devil's Chord (TV story)"])
On Kastarion 3, the snow appeared when Ruby was shot by Canterbury James Olliphant, before stopping in mid-air when her vital signs began failing. (TV: Boom [+]Loading...["Boom (TV story)"])
While visiting UNIT HQ, the Doctor used UNIT's Time Window to replay the events on Ruby Road, as he was unable to take the TARDIS there due to the risk of crossing his own time stream. Before the machine was activated, it once again began to snow, alarming everyone present. Later, when Sutekh revealed himself, it once again began to snow when Ruby returned to the Time Window on the Doctor's orders.

In an ultimately-undone timeline, Ruby was cast out by her adoptive mother, Carla Sunday, after Carla had spoken to a mysterious woman that had been following Ruby and causing anyone who had spoken to her to abandon Ruby forever. While sat in the hallway outside her flat, Ruby looked up through a window and saw that it was snowing; this snow seemed to be natural, however, coming from the outside rather than falling around Ruby.
