Well cold is a comparing adjective so I'd like to ask how much warmer was it the day before? It will sink that much more the next day.

My guesstimate would be at least over -9000.

In this "cold" is relative. Because the English language sucks! Yaaaaaaaaaaay.
<3 English.

Anyway-
If you're used to 60 degree weather, then it's 60 degrees colder than normal today.. being that it's 0.
Thus, technically, it'd be 120 degrees colder tomorrow.
But considering it's just what people sayyyy... it doesn't mean anything. ;D

0 Degrees, Because There is no number lower then 0. And it can't really go to (Minus) something if there is no number to Minus.

Umm, It can get colder then 0 , it can get into the negatives -10,-20 ect..



Just look at my Temperature here in Canada, in my province:

Uhrm... the only places that can beat Scandinavia with cold is probably just, Russia, green land? Is it called that way? However, the Antarctica thingy Uhm, let's just say the huge ice land long down in south from here... it's like -30 -25 something like that... it isn't fun to find the car buried under snow...

I think the what you guys are looking for is RIDICULOUSLY cold. It's already way too cold out, I can't imagine it getting any worse, but you know, I've been wrong before.

Lets think now. Say if today was 20 degrees, and tomorrow is going to be twice as cold. That would mean 20 x 2 = 40. Twice of 20 is 40. Now subtract it from 20 and you get -20 degrees. So now how would you apply this to 0 degrees?

Well, if you would have read my post. I clearly explained.
-pokes your forehead-

It's relative. Not mathematical.
If someone on the weather channel said "twice as cold as today", when it's zero degrees, and actually meant it, then they're pretty dumb.
But if someone says it in passing, they're most likely comparing relative cold, not actual temperature.
