as the day lengthens, so the cold strengthens

Definition 
The coldest part of the winter often occurs in the period following the shortest day, as the hours of daylight begin to grow longer: We usually get our worst frosts in January and February, proving the old saying "As the day lengthens, so the cold strengthens." The proverb was first recorded in 1631: "The New Year now begun, as the Days began to lengthen, so the Cold began to strengthen" (E. Pellham, God's Power).
