The phrase "<em>Beside the sea an old grey dog</em>"<em> </em>presents iambic tetrameter.
Iambic tetrameter consists of four iambic feet, each one with an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.
The stressed syllables are presented as follows (stresses syllables are in all capitals):
beSIDE the SEA an OLD grey DOG - da DUM da DUM da DUM da DUM
These lines taken from "The Snow Man" might be interpreted in these ways.

The other interpretarion is the assiciation of winter with misery, sadness and loneliness, the feelings that are related to the picture of the wind blowing with just a few leaves.
