nippiness

Sharp cold snap

Nippiness is the quality of being nippy—a slight, bracing coldness in the air: There's a nippiness this morning that says autumn is here.

The word can also describe quickness or agility, particularly in British usage: The car's nippiness makes it ideal for city driving.
