Well, either my new neighbor is either the former Queen of Arendelle, or it’s so ridiculously cold outside that frost is building up on my windows. Happy super chilly Friday here at Trash Panda Puzzles! Where I live is now in that time of the year where it’s often too cold to snow. On the plus side, the extreme cold usually means that clouds don’t form, and we get bright sunny days. Enough about the weather and let's get onto the puzzle.


Today’s crossword is a 15x15 grid with standard symmetry. You’ll notice that there are plenty of chunky bits scattered about with nearly 1/3 of the answers being seven or more letters long. Lastly, take a look at the stats below. There’s a new stat called “My Mom's Clues.” That’s right, my mother helped clue 11 of the words in today’s crossword. Hopefully everyone finds this little added bit of variety enjoyable!
