I had been in the demon land for only ten months, so it would have been about January of the demons' year 1904, when we met Mr. Alger. I remember it was a gray, wintry day. We were making the rounds when we saw one of the horseless carriages stranded by the sidewalk and a demon in a big overcoat standing beside it. His driving cap was pushed back, and he was scratching his forehead in a puzzled way. The metal hood on the front of the horseless had been folded back on top so you could see into its innards.

How does the description of the day as gray and wintry emphasize the narrator’s feelings about life in the new country

Answer:

The geography and author's voice implies that the character is rather reluctent and has some despising feelings about living in this country.

Step-by-step explanation:

Winter in literature is normally used to depict death and pain, or hardship and loss (depending on the mood, sometimes it can be used to symbolize other things, but you get the idea). But when tied together with "gray" it gives the overall mood of hatred and reluctensy

hope this helps :)
