What does 'cold snap' mean, please?
Here's the context:
"Commodity prices advanced early in 2014 as drought in Brazil spoiled coffee crops, a cold snap in the U.S. drove up demand for natural gas, and war in Ukraine sent investors fleeing to the perceived safety of gold. Those factors have since disappeared or reversed themselves. Oil traders expected violence in the Middle East to disrupt supplies, but the disruption never came, and the world got an oil glut instead."
Thank you so much in advance for the help!
