The Farenheit scale is an Interval scale, which means it is not useful for the problem at hand.
We will switch to the Kelvin scale, which is a Ratio scale.
0°F = -17.7°C = 255.32 K
255.32 / 2 = 127.66 K
127.66 K = -145.44°C = -229.79°F
ANSWER: -229.79 °F (I must live on Jupiter!)

srm817 is the only user who gave the correct answer. If it was zero degrees at your house and twice as cold at my house the obvious answer would be 20 degrees below zero.

There's no such thing as twice as cold. You could have twice the temperature change: the temperature dropped 5 degrees at one house and it dropped 10 degrees at another house.

Twice as cold as what?
You need to know what you are comparing the zero degrees to.

well, is it 0 degrees celsius? then it would be 32 degrees fahrenheit, and therefore very cold at my house (twice as cold is not the proper quantitative nomenclature).
degrees kelvin would put your house at -273 degrees fahrenheit, i think.
anywho, 0 is cold no matter the measurement!

If you mean 0º Celsius, then it's -64º Fahrenheit at my house.
--BECAUSE--
0ºC = 32ºF
twice 32 (2 x 32) equals 64.
64 is actually warmer than 0, so you would make it negative, the only way to say it's colder.

twice as annoying than the other thousand times this question has been asked.

zero can't be doubled, therefore zero degrees.
