Old Man Winter
Cold season's embodiment
Old Man Winter is a personification of winter as an elderly man, typically imagined with a white beard, icy breath, and power over cold weather.
The figure appears in folklore and casual speech to characterize winter as a deliberate force: Old Man Winter arrived early this year, Old Man Winter isn't done with us yet.
