Literal word for ord translation: والليل طويلن ومليء بالرعب

More idiomatic translation (makes more sense to Arabic speakers):
والليل طويل ومليء بالعفاريت

[MohidKM]

What's wrong with translating this as "the long and cold winter"?

[CengalLut]

In a noun phrase, all the nouns and adjectives must agree in definiteness, gender and number. In this sentence, notice that the noun has "al-" but the adjectives don't, so you should conclude that it is not one single noun phrase, but rather one noun subject followed by predicate adjectives.
