Last season, Viserion blazed a fiery blue hole through the Wall and allowed the Night King's army to advance. While we've since learned that Tormund and several members of the Night's Watch were able to escape the damage, the prominent placement of this image make it clear that it won't be long before our heroes are faced with the greatest fight of their lives. In the sequence, the nearest homestead, the Last Heath, is quickly overtaken by ice.
Is this indication that places closest to the Wall, like Winterfell, will fall just as hard and fast as the homes near the Night's Watch?
