coldest day
Winter's harshest moment
The coldest day is the day with the lowest temperature in a given period—a week, a month, a year, or recorded history: Yesterday was the coldest day of the winter so far.
The phrase often appears in weather reports and climate discussions, sometimes with dramatic emphasis: It was the coldest day on record for the region.
