A very good Sunday morning from Winnipeg where the word FR*ST is beginning to appear in weather forecasts and reports!

For me, and I stress for me,© same as last week, Dada very friendly once I had cracked two or three clues.  Four long ‘uns, six anagrams (two partials), one lurker, and two homophones, all in a symmetric 32 clues; with 16 hints ‘sprinkled’ throughout the grid, all BRB verified where necessary, you should/might be able to get some of the checkers to enable the solving of the unhinted clues. I hope you have your Crimson Tomes at hand! You might even need your favourite e-search ‘assistant’!
