Currently in Sicily on vacation: but like N Canada? (5)
I believe the answer is:
snowy
'currently in sicily on vacation but like n canada?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'currently in sicily on vacation' is the wordplay.
'currently' becomes 'now' (right now).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'on vacation' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (after the inside letters have vacated the word).
'sicily' with its middle removed is 'sy'.
'now' inserted inside 'sy' is 'SNOWY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for snowy that I've seen before include "- Mountains; - owl" , "Covered in flakes" , "Tintin's (white?) dog" , "Tintin's dog - describing winter weather" , "Like cold weather" .)
