raw cold
Penetrating winter air
Raw cold is a penetrating, damp chill that seems to cut through clothing and reach the bones.
Unlike dry cold, which can feel crisp and tolerable, raw cold carries moisture that makes it feel harsher than the thermometer suggests: a raw cold that settles into your joints, the raw cold of a foggy November morning.
