Waiting in readiness (2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on ice

'waiting in readiness' is the definition.
(on ice means ready or prepared)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for on ice that I've seen before include "Awaiting decision" , "Where one might find slippers" , "Kept in readiness" , "kept for later" , "not to be furthered?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
