I believe the answer is:

igloo

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

'place associated with cold?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'current unending misery' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'I' (symbol for electric current).
'unending' means to remove the last letter (the word doesn't have its end letter).
'misery' becomes 'gloom' (I've seen this before).
'gloom' with its final letter removed is 'gloo'.
'i'+'gloo'='IGLOO'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for igloo that I've seen before include "Eskimo's dwelling" , "A house up north" , "Greenland dwelling" , "northern home" , "An eskimo's ice-house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
