1/2 of 0 = 0.
Either way. Its going to be cold.

You didn't say what the units of temperature were. If you're giving a temperature in Kelvin, you're already at absolute zero and you won't be getting any colder tomorrow, the temperature will still be zero. If you're talking about Fahrenheit or Celsius, you'll need to convert to an absolute temperature scale, such as Rankine or Kelvin, then divide the temperature by two. For example, 0 Celsius is 273 Kelvin, so if it's twice as cold tomorrow it will be half as warm, or 136.5 Kelvin. Subtract 273 to get the temperature in Celsius, -136.5 Celsius. If you're talking about 0 Fahrenheit, convert to Rankine by adding 460 then follow the same procedure.

To me it only seams that you have to be in the positives to do that. 0 is not
