The answers to today's Strands, game #308, are SNOW SLEET FROST BLIZZARD 
DRIZZLE FLURRY SPANGRAM: WINTER WEATHER My rating: Easy My score: Perfect 

The two pairs of Zs in todays puzzle (theres another) made things a lot 
easier  although I had to stop myself thinking Freeze would be one of the 
words. 

Mizzle is a particularly British type of WINTER WEATHER that could have 
joined the double-Z gang  its like drizzle with added mist and its very, erm, 
mizz-erable. In some parts of the UK they call it Scotch Mist, which sounds a 
lot more romantic. 

I wondered if BLIZZARD could also have a misty variant  Mizzard?  but it 
doesnt seem to have caught on. However, I did notice that on YouTube a 
nine-second video of a lizard wizard in a blizzard has 40,000 views.
