cold enough to make me stay in!

The "zero" in C or F is really in the wrong place. On an absolute scale, zero will be -273ºC or -459.4ºF (absolute zero).
The zero on the Celsius scale is based on the freezing point of water at STP. The zero on the Fahrenheit scale is based on a lowest temperature scientists could achieve in the lab at that time using salt water and ice.
So you really can't say "twice as cold" unless you mean a variance from the normal or average temperature expected for that day.

Two times zero is zero. Keep in mind though, Fahrenheit and Celcius are called degrees because they are not absolute. If room temperature is 25 degrees Celcius and the temperature is zero today then I guess tomorrow it would be negative 25 degrees Celcius. Likewise, if room temperature is 70 degrees Fahrenheit and the temperature is zero today, then tomorrow it would be negative 70 degrees. Either way, you might want to put on some warm clothing.

The concept of "twice as cold" is silly. If it is 0 deg C today, half of that is 0. If it is 32 deg F today (same temperature), half of that is 16 deg F. The only time you can talk about "twice as cold", if you must, is in absolute degrees - or degrees Kelvin - which come out as something close to deg C + 273.

they say 2 times zero is zero, but in this case I'd say look at the day before if it was warmer. If it was 10 degrees the previous day and then zero the next, let's call it -10 for tomorrow.

That's easy, Temperature in terms of weather is either measured in Celcius or Fahrenheit. Either way just find out what the temperature is in Kelvin (the true scientific scale of temperature) and well, halve it I guess.

If it is zero degrees celcius, this would be 32 degrees fahrenheit.
Twice as cold would be 16 degrees fahrenheit..

Twice as cold is a figure of speech so "Twice as cold" could mean with icy winds!

zero to the power of 2!

Still zero as 2x0 is 0

The correct answer is 0 degrees.
