North wind

The personification of the north wind as it appears on the Athenian Tower of the Winds (50 BCE)

A north or northerly wind is one that rises in the north and blows southwards, bringing with it wintery weather. The wind has had historical and literary significance in many cultures, since it often signals seasonal change. Over the centuries it has figured in myth, art, folksong and nursery rhyme.
