Like some slippery roads (3)
I believe the answer is:
icy
'like some slippery roads' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for icy that I've seen before include "Very cold, unfriendly" , "Distant - freezing" , "(Of relations) very hostile" , "Freezing and slippy" , "Very chilly" .)
