  الشِّتَاءُ — winter. A noun carrying al- ('the'), which here marks it as the definite, known season. It is what the framing verb before it is talking about, the subject of 'it was winter'. Its ending is in the plain subject (nominative) shape because it is the topic the verb pins down, not the object of anything.
