As the nights draw in and the cold descends, the winter world emerges – and with it an incredible array of words that superbly capture the season.From frost-dogs (tiny frozen particles of falling snow) and Stepmothers breath (a sudden cold snap) to hibernaculum (a winter refuge during the winter months) and crapulent (feeling the aftereffects of overindulgence), Paul Anthony Jones delves into the origins of these rare, fascinating and forgotten words, opening up a whole new way of describing the winter months.
