Ice storm raging round island of same size (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

isometric

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

'same size' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'ice storm raging round island' is the wordplay.
'raging' indicates an anagram.
'round' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'island' becomes 'i' (geographical abbreviation).
'ice'+'storm'='icestorm'
'icestorm' with letters rearranged gives 'isometrc'.
'isometrc' enclosing 'i' is 'ISOMETRIC'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
