Coldwave -OR?

Hello. I just came to this article to copy edit, but I have looked through the reference s and I think describing this as a cold wave might be WP:Original Research based on those. However, I am very new to editing, so I could well be wrong. Thank you, GreyGreenWhy (talk) 18:03, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. If "cold wave" is about a rapid decrease in temperature, is that different from a "cold spell"? The latter could imply duration, but at the moment, a Wikipedia search on "Cold spell" redirects to "Cold wave." Oh, and the article exists, even it the originator has been blocked from using the user name (one of several) the article was created under. David notMD (talk) 18:44, 9 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
