icehouses

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'no news once sunshine's blazing' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'cold storage facilities' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'ice' (I've seen this before).
'storage facilities' becomes 'houses' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ice'+'houses'='ICEHOUSES'

'having' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
