Very cold on the way out (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

perishing

I believe this is a double definition.

'very cold' is the first definition.
(perishing can mean extremely cold)

'on the way out' is the second definition.
(on the way out can mean dying)

(Other definitions for perishing that I've seen before include "Dying" , "going west" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
