‘Crime and Punishment’, revision help

Please Revise.

It was an emotionless, flaky, dark December night in Washington D.C, It was a very cold night, so cold that the temperature was below 30, the trees were shaking, the grass was white and the streets were frozen with ice, it was hard for anyone to drive this kind of night. As the wind blew strongly outside. Elizabeth, was inside her nice warm house catching up on her reading ‘Crime and Punishment’ sitting in front of her hot fireplace, with a cup of hot chocolate just before it was time for her to go to bed.
