I constructed this puzzle back in August and figured that, given the theme, it was worth waiting until the first icy breaths of winter had appeared, which they did early this week, at least in the D.C. area. If you’re so inclined, the online version contains the appropriate color for the circled squares.

Such a clever theme idea! I’m curious what inspired it?

Not personal experience! Or a veiled reference to a certain politician. I actually have no idea where the theme came from, but it probably popped into my head either as I was falling asleep or as I was waking up.
