Temperature scales are relative. Zero deg celsius is the point at which water freezes. This occurs on the farenheit scale at 32 F, and the kelvin scale at 273.15 K and the rankine scale at 491.67 R.....and blah blah blah blah.
Twice as cold as zero celsius is also twice as cold on these other scales. For example on the farenheit scale 16 F is 'twice as cold' as 32 F.
16 F on the celsius scale is -8.89 C on the celsius scale.
Therefore -8.89 C is twice as cold as zero on that scale.

I would say tomorrow is polar bear weather if it were twice as cold as today, and today is only 0 degrees Celsius..
Mathematically speaking, half of 32 in fahrenheit is 16, and then, convert into celsius. That seems to be a good start at answering this question.
What about the wind? Wind chill makes the air temperature feel colder than it actually is. The higher the wind, the lower the temp. feels to the skin, and twice as cold to your skin, might only be a couple of degrees cooler than a thermometer would read...
So twice as cold could be several different temperatures, depending on other conditions that exist...

The question is a splash ambiguous. however the terrific answer i think of is to learn it with room temperature, nor absolute 0. 0 celcius represents 20 decrease than room temperature as a result if the following day is two times as chilly, it particularly is going to be 40 decrease than room temperature so the respond could be -20 stages Celsius. The reasoning is easy, if room temperature (20 Celsius) is neither warm or chilly, then 20 stages decrease than this must be 20 stages too chilly. If the following day that's two times as chilly, then the temperature must be 20*2 = 40 decrease than room temperature = -20 stages Celcius.

Mathematically, 0 times 2 is 0.

0 degrees celcius=32 degrees farenheit
1/2 of 0(celcius)=1/2 of 32(farenheit)
1/2 of 32=16
and 16 degrees farenheit is about -8 or -7 degrees celcius
so tomorrow it will be about -7 or -8 degrees
hope it helps!

Converting to Fahrenheit is only of use if Fahrenheit actually means something to you. Most of the world uses Celsius, I think it is only the USA that doesn't.
You can't have a temperature that is twice as cold as another temperature or twice as warm either even though these expressions are heard.

0 Celsius. 0*2=0

fizixx has the right idea mathematically...here is the big however...you asked a question that could also be interpreted as a philosophical question...
Who can say that "twice as cold" as something else really is, numerically speaking, calculable? Cold is a feeling, so what is twice a feeling?????? Hummmmmm?

Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
