âPaul Anthony Jones introduces a long-lost winter vocabulary to warm the coldest of heartsâ Country Life As the nights draw in and the cold descends, the winter world emerges â" and with it an incredible array of words that superbly capture the season.  From frost-dogs (tiny frozen particles of falling snow) and Stepmotherâs 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.  Whether youâre keeping cosy in front of the fire, warding off the winter blues or throwing yourself into the party season, A Winter Dictionary is the perfect way to while away the snow-laden days.  âEvery word you might ever need to describe the chibbly (crisp with frost) days of the colder monthsâ Country Walking
