In British slang, you might well say, "it's brass monkey weather", referring to a phrase, "cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey". I gather it's a reference to cannon balls, not a more gutter meaning (-:

Or you could say, "it's freezing!" whether it is literally or not.

You don't have to say winter, do you? Or say it in another sentence. the art of writing... A crisp, dry, cold day. An air that reached my bones in December/January/February. A bitingly cold day. A winter's day devoid of any warmth. Oh I'm getting into this now!

It was a bitter, frosty (morning/afternoon/evening/night) in December.

The chill air of winter cut through to the bone.
