Enthusiastically greet cold weather? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hail

This clue is a triple definition!

'enthusiastically greet' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'cold' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'weather?' is the third definition.
(hail is a kind of weather)

(Other definitions for hail that I've seen before include "Stones from the sky" , "Greet loudly" , "Precipitation - old greeting" , "wintry weather" , "Hard Rain?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
