寒冬 (hán dōng): 寒い冬

In the cold winter, there are almost no pedestrians on the street; everyone is hiding indoors to keep warm.

That winter, heavy snow closed the mountain; the rescue team braved the severe cold to deliver food and quilts to the stranded villagers.

Even though it is deep winter, the plum blossoms in the park are blooming especially brightly, attracting many visitors to come and admire them.

Grandpa said that when he was young, every winter he had to walk more than ten li to school, and his hands and feet often turned red from the cold.

The meteorological station predicts that temperatures this winter will be lower than in previous years, so everyone should prepare for the cold in advance.
