Mob never turned out when winter arrives (8)
I believe the answer is:
november
'when winter arrives' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'mob never turned' is the wordplay.
'turned' indicates an anagram.
'mob'+'never'='mobnever'
'mobnever' anagrammed gives 'NOVEMBER'.
'out' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for november that I've seen before include "N in radio comms" , "Month ending with St Andrew's Day" , "Armistice month" , "Several days" , "(In the US) Thanksgiving's month" .)
