Was forever trying to put C or COLD in front of clues, grid entries, and then saw ZA-MB-.. aha! Nice one Will!

Hmm -- I'm getting a familiar image in my head. I'll have to be very careful on the forum. :-) And despite that, it took me more than a minute to see what was right there! Very cute! Thanks, Will!

That was fun - thanks! It took me a while. LOL I was trying my darnedest to make that much harder than it was.

Made this way, way harder than I needed to. Finally saw it, but feel like a dope for not seeing it sooner. Thanks for the puzzle, Will!

Saw I,C, and E in BRIOCHES and NIECE (and of course in ICESKATERS) and thought.. oh, use all the letters in the openings between the ICE letters! O-H-N-E. Yeah… nice try. Loved the cluing! (Is there a backstory to the long Panera charged lemonade clue? 1/5 the caffeine of a 30oz is some weird deets!)
Indeed SAD. I was trying to use the clues that started with C, O, L, D (there are LOTS), words with refence to cold (ICE, COLD, FREEZE), and finally I saw MBA and ISA and thought "OK those are one letter off" So I then wrote out all the two letter pairs in a column and that is when I said "DOH!!!!!" Nicely hidden Will, and even with ICESKATERS as an egg of sorts (you might have thrwn in HOWE or FLYERS ). Thanks for the puzzle.

Tried to submit the MGWCC answer here, which didn't work. I'd been puzzling a bit, bu then after clearing ice off our front walkway, I took another look at the themers and realized I could have used one of those...It was back to the basics time, as advertised. Thanks.

ZOOMS ALONG = BREEZES ALONG / COLD BREEZE
MARINE BIOLOGIST = OCEAN BIOLOGIST / COLD OCEAN
OLFACTORY NERVES = NOSE NERVES / COLD NOSE
ICE SKATERS = EDGE SKATERS / COLD EDGE
BONE!
That actually helped me get to the answer. I am not sure why.
