That means 'You call it spring, but it's cold!' That's the opposite of enjoying the cherry blossoms!\n❌ としたら: 'としたら' means 'If we assume'. We don't have to assume Japanese spring exists, it definitely happens every year!\n❌ をきっかけに: 'をきっかけに' means 'Triggered by'. You don't trigger the cherry blossoms just by saying 'spring'.
