Its "Denglish", combining the English "blues" (having the blues) with winter. Means nothing more than being in a bad mood druing winter time - probably because it is dark and cold....

seasonal depression
Depends on the context. If you feel just a bit down because of the short and cold days, I suppose "Winter blues" would be alright.
If it's more serious, though, I would use "seasonal depression" or "Winter depression", which is quite commonly used.
