Il fait should always be followed by an adjective, and il y a used with nouns
But what's about "il fait un froid de canard" - un froid - it is noun or I'am wrong? This sentence sounds wierd also or not? ( I'm apologize for mistakes these language are not my native)
This question relates to:French lesson "Talking about the weather in French - il fait + [adjectif]"

Well, that rule is a good starting point but there are many French idioms which go against it, as you have discovered yourself. Here are some:
Il fait un temps de chien -- The weather is shitty.
Il fait un soleil de plomb -- A searing/scorching sun.
-- Chris (not a native speaker).
