When they say something like "the temperature could be minus 10 degrees Fahrenheit "
do they mean 10 degree's below 0, or 10 degrees below 32F ?

Definitely 10 degrees below zero. If it were 10 below freezing, they'd either word it that way, or else just say 22 degrees F, and assume that the listener knew that freezing = 32F. (a bad assumption in today's USA, I'm ashamed to say)

It means 10 degrees below zero F so 42 degrees below 32 F.

it's 10 below 0 F
32 F is Equal to 0 C
-10 F Equals -23.333 C

Below 0. That's what it generally means.

Yeah, be careful not to mix up your scales.
-10 below 32F would really be [-10 F below 0C], you never use different measuring scales in the same measure!
So its always below 0 of whatever it is!
-10C OR -10F
NOT -10F below 0C
