Cold dice, possibly (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

iced

'cold' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'dice possibly' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'dice' anagrammed gives 'ICED'.

(Other definitions for iced that I've seen before include "Decorated; killed" , "reduced number of degrees" , "Frozen, chilled" , "Core; card; organ" , "Finished off cake" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
