Double 0 and it's still 0. Except that, given the way people abuse the English language, maybe the weather channel would have meant to refer to the temperature scale....no matter Celsius or Fahrenheit. Maybe they would have meant that the temperature was increasing by "2" on the scale. So then the temperature would be 2 degrees. But worded the way they worded it, it's 0. I need to get a life, I can't believe I'm sitting here answering this STUPID question.

I don't know, but a possible answer might be 1 degree. That seems a little logical to me given that if it's 1 degree outside, that doubled is 2 degrees.
Doubling "0" in terms of temperature doesn't necessarily have to follow the rules of mathematics, so zero degrees doubled could be 1 degree! (This is all in celcius, of course... not Farenheit)

If the weather channel said that it doubled it would still be zero. Weathermen think about temperature in terms of common units.
If an engineer said that it doubled it would be 459 degrees F or 273 degrees C, depending upon the units used to report that it was 0 outside. Engineers think of temperature in absolute temperature terms.

If it were 0 degrees celcius that would be 32 F. If you doubled that you'd be at 64 F or 15-16 celcius.

The temperature is reported by the weather channel primarily in units of Fahrenheit degrees. Doubling 0 mathematically is 0, but if you choose to convert it to Celsius, you end up with -17.8 and doubling that produces -35.6 Fahrenheit...cold! However, if I use Kelvin's I get 255.37, which converts to 459.67 Fahrenheit if doubled...hot!!! So I have three answers, 0, -35.6, & 459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. lol that was a good question. haha and it wouldn't be 0 still silly people. temperature doesn't function the same way as logical mathematics does. doubling something implies it will be multiplied or risen in some fashion of the number 2.

You'd have to find 0 degrees F on the Kelvin scale, double it, the convert it back to F

Whew! I don't know, but I've been outside in 0 and -64 degree weather... Frankly, I wouldn't go outside at all if the weather person mentioned it was going to be that cold. Cold. Cold I tell ya!

0 degrees Celsius is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, double that would be 64 degrees. :0)
