winter sun
Low, weak light
The sun as it appears during winter months—lower in the sky, casting longer shadows, and providing less warmth than in summer.
Winter sun often carries connotations of pale, watery light that offers psychological comfort without much heat: We sat in the winter sun, grateful for any warmth.
The phrase can also describe winter vacation destinations: They escaped to Spain for some winter sun.
