Default What is a cold spell?

Ane wha spiks the Doric tae! I'm not so far from you, in Lossiemouth. It's difficult to define cold because it depends on what you're used to and there's a geographical influence to that. We're far enough north to look for sub-zero temps but those softies from the south look for much higher temps. The Eskimo man would be looking for something closer to absolute zero!
