From my area of the UK, which is of course East Anglia. This is how I would
categorise a cold spell. This occurring in either December, January or
February, which of course are the 3 winter months.

1 out 10: 3 or 4 days consecutive, of north westerly winds [snip]
2 out 10: 3 or 4 days consecutive of north winds [snip]
3 out of 10: 3 or 4 days of north winds [snip]
4 out of 10: 3 or 4 days of north easterly winds [snip]
5 out of 10: 3 or 4 days of easterlies [snip]
6 out 10: 4 to 6 days of north east or easterlies [snip]
7 out of 10: 6 to 7 days with east to north east winds [snip]
8 out of 10: 8 days to 10 days with east winds and north east winds [snip]
9 out of 10: 12 days to 14 days with a cold spell from either north to north
east or easterly [snip]
10 out of 10: [snip]

So, living where I do, and with the current cold spell coming as it does
from the south-east, I wonder how it should be scored.
Hopefully, I will benefit from a nice warm northerly soon.

To be fair to the southerlies / south-easterlies, my coldest overnight
of the season so far arrived from the west.

No snow up here by the way - the (uk) tv weather last evening suggested
we had lots of it ... but they do seem to have a vivid imagination.
