Like seasons oddly cold, doubly icy at opening (8)
I believe the answer is:
cyclical
'like' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cyclical that I've seen before include "Regularly recurring sequence of events" , "Regularly repeating" , "Recurring in series" , "Recurrent (as in chain of events)" .)
