Winter is the coldest season, beginning at the solstice, the shortest day of the year. Storms can bring a blizzard, sleet, or a light flurry, and water freezes into icicles while frost coats the ground. Many animals hibernate to survive, evergreens stay green through it all, and people gather by a warm hearth until the first thaw. This puzzle gathers eleven words for the depths of winter.

The phrase word find turns up about as often as word search, so treat these 11 winter words as whichever you prefer.
