Frost initially on hilltop in cold place (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fridge

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

'cold place' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.

'frost initially on hilltop' is the wordplay.
'initially' suggests taking the first letters.
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hilltop' becomes 'ridge' (I've seen this before).
The first letter of 'frost' is 'f'.
'f'+'ridge'='FRIDGE'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fridge that I've seen before include "A domestic appliance" , "Food cooler" , "Cooling cabinet (abbr)" , "Cooler in kitchen" .)
