Crossword Genius

Her thermostat adjusted after we pull through (7,3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

weather the storm

'pull through' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'her thermostat adjusted after we' is the wordplay.
'adjusted' indicates an anagram.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'her'+'thermostat'='herthermostat'
'herthermostat' with letters rearranged gives 'atherthestorm'.
'atherthestorm' put after 'we' is 'WEATHER THE STORM'.

(Another definition for weather the storm that I've seen is " Survive difficulties".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
