winter kill

(noun) A newcomer to a mountain village who buys or rents a property, but who is perceived by the community as being too 'soft' or fragile to remain after struggling through his first, tough, winter season there.
Everyone marked me as "winter kill." They understood mountain life, took one look at me and figured I'd be gone after my first winter.
