Clans have a problem with hurtling masses of snow (10)
I believe the answer is:
avalanches
'hurtling masses of snow' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'clans have a problem' is the wordplay.
'problem' indicates an anagram.
'clans'+'have'+'a'='clanshavea'
'clanshavea' is an anagram of 'AVALANCHES'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for avalanches that I've seen is " Unstoppable destroyers".)
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
