Not really, but you have the Fimbulvinter ("great winter") which Lasts for three years and is a sign that Ragnarok is nigh. That can certainly be called an ill winter.

The winter in WoT Lasts way longer than three years. Not in true Randland temporal sense, but rather due to the fact the RJ writes like a turtle runs.

Please notice the cruel demeanor of Kristoffer in his attempt to Dominion out rival god Michael Eckenfels.

There should be a Bane Lord swooping down to lay down some justice on Michael!
