Winter word search

Winter, scarf, mittens, fireplace, cocoa, snowflake, boots, frost, sled, and blanket combine cold-weather clothing, conditions, objects, and comforts. The list describes one familiar kind of winter and is not intended to imply that every region has snow, sledding, or fireplaces.

Solvers can sort the answers into things worn, things seen outdoors, and things associated with warmth. Fireplace and snowflake provide long, distinctive letter patterns, while sled and boots are useful early targets. For a locally accurate activity, replace any unfamiliar item with weather or clothing from your own winter season.
