northern climate
Cold regional conditions
A northern climate is the weather pattern typical of regions far from the equator, characterized by cold winters, shorter growing seasons, and significant seasonal variation.
The term usually implies temperate to subarctic conditions: Plants suited to a northern climate can tolerate frost.
In casual use, it often just means somewhere cold: I'm not built for a northern climate.
