Puzzle #151 December 2013 "Turning Point"
Instructions: Guess the words defined by the cryptic clues (answers vary in length from three to nine letters, four are capitalized, one is foreign, and one a prefix) then enter them in the grid one after another in the same order as their clues, starting in the upper left corner. Across words that don't end at the right continue on the next row, and down words that don't end at the bottom continue in the next column. Seven across words and seven down words won't fit in the grid unless one of their letters is omitted. Those fourteen letters, taken in order as they occur in across and down words, spell two words appropriate to the season.
