winter nights
Frigid dark hours
Winter nights are the evenings and overnight hours during the coldest season, characterized by early darkness, longer periods without sunlight, and often associated with cold temperatures and indoor activities.
The phrase evokes cozy domesticity—fires, blankets, warm drinks—or alternatively, harsh conditions and isolation: We spent winter nights reading by the fire, The homeless struggle through winter nights.
