Cold northern wind (7)

I believe the answer is:

mistral

(Other definitions for mistral that I've seen before include "Famous wind in the Rhone Valley blowing towards the Med" , "Nice chiller" , "That's a blow" , "Strong wind down the 20 valley" , "French wind" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
