'experience cold during most of season' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'experience cold during most of season' is the wordplay.
'experience cold' becomes 'c' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'season' becomes 'inure' (I've seen this before).
'inure' with its last letter taken away is 'inur'.
'c' placed inside 'inur' is 'INCUR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for incur that I've seen before include "Bring on oneself, probably unpleasant" , "Runic (anag.)" , "Bring on oneself, say costs" , "Fall liable to" , "Become subject to (something unwelcome)" .)
