The very tentative tone of the opening line lets us into the mood without our quite nsing where it will lead,just as the ordinariness of 'though' at the end of the cond line assures us that we are in this world .But by repeating the 'o' sound,'though' also starts the ries of rhymes that will soon get the better of traveler and reader .The impression of aloneness in the first two lines prepares for concentration on eing the strange process not of snow falling,but of woods 'filling up.'
