Found it was terribly cold out and ate in (7)
I believe the answer is:
located
This might be a double definition.
'found' is the first definition.
(locating is a kind of finding)
'in' is the second definition.
(I know that in can be written as located)
'it was terribly cold out and ate' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to one of the definitions.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for located that I've seen before include "Settled -- cold tea (anag)" , "Situated in a particular spot" , "Pin-pointed" , "Found" , "Discovered where something was" .)
