long winter
Endless frigid season
A long winter is an extended period of cold weather, either literally or as metaphor for any prolonged difficult stretch: It's going to be a long winter for investors.
The phrase carries emotional weight—winters feel longer when harsh or isolating.
In fantasy contexts, particularly *Game of Thrones*, a long winter suggests years of darkness and hardship ahead.
