Dear respected teachers,

Could you please help me out on the meaning of the following sentence by rephrasing it for me?

Many thanks,

Tim lapsed into a frosty silence, staring blindly out through the window = Tim was upset/angry and stopped talking. He looked through the window but saw nothing because he was too upset/angry.
