The Celsius scale (also called Centigrade) is calibrated so that 0°C is the freezing point of pure water and 100°C is the boiling point. If there's any impurities the freezing (and boiling) point will be affected, sea water for example, which has salt and other things dissolved in it freezes at a little below 0°C.
0°C is the same as 32°F, 100°C is the same as 212°C.
There's a couple of other temperature scales which are rarely used outside of science, both of these take the coldest possible temperature (absolute zero) as their starting point. These are the Kelvin and Rankine scales and if you were to use either of these the freezing point of water would be 273.15 Kelvin / 273.15 Rankine.

At -4C. Officialy it is zero celsius degrees but in practical conditions it is -4 Celsius degrees. Best Regards, Neven.

At zero degrees centigrade. And boils at hundred degrees centigrade. Impossible to not know. Oh, don´t live in ROW? Tough.
(ROW = Rest Of World. The 6 billion people on the planet that aren´t americans)
