wintrier
Chillier and snowier
Wintrier is the comparative form of wintry, meaning more characteristic of winter—colder, harsher, or bleaker.
Weather can turn wintrier as the season deepens: Each day grew wintrier than the last.
The word extends to demeanor: a wintrier reception is notably cold or unwelcoming.
