Spring training has been going well so far, and I look forward to keep seeing my Cubs do well before the games actually count! (Let's hope they do well then as well.)
We have some updates on past winners for metas 81 through 83!
Puzzle #81 winners: @Berto and @Qmark
Puzzle #82 winners: Joe (I'm not sure which Joe, haha) and @Bbaack
Puzzle #83 winners: Myelbow and @HeadinHome
Congratulations, and may all your solves be beautiful! More drawings next week!

Puzzle #85 answer: QUANTUM LEAP
Correct entries: 45 with some nudges, so a solid Week 4 indeed!
@BrennerTJ jumped at the chance!
Explanation: We have seven entries at the bottom with UP in them, causing @Bird Lives to quip, "Are you sure the answer isn't a drink?" But there was more to it, which means something was probably going on up top!
For each column with an UP entry, go to the very top entry and form a new entry with the same clue by appending a letter (for example, "medicine cabinet sight" goes from CUPS to TIPS, which becomes Q-TIPS, so the first letter is a "Q"). These letters spell out QUANTUM, which - along with the title and mechanism - suggest the title QUANTUM LEAP (in honor of leap year!), the answer to the meta.

WSJ and MGWCC were pretty breezy this week, and this Level 1.5 (at the most) should also play similarly! This is the last month of the Winter Solvestice, but I hope we don't get any more wintry weather around these parts anyway! (It is the region, after all.)

The answer to the meta is a 2-word television title.
