cold enough to freeze a snowman's nose

Every year, this question gets asked.
In science, we use the "Absolute" scale where 0 K represents the temperature at which ALL activity ceases (almost: there is still "zero-point energy").
Nothing in the universe (not even the universe itself) can exist at a lower temperature (or even at that exact temperature).
Depending on which scale your 0 is picked, it corresponds to some non-zero temperature on the absolute scale.
0 C = 273.16 K
0 F = 255.38 K
In science, there are some processes that depend upon the temperature. For example, using the "ideal gas law", one can calculate the relationship between volume and temperature of a gas kept at constant pressure.
That relationship is simple: if you double the temperature, you double the volume.
This works only if you use absolute temperature.
If a gas at a given pressure occupies 2 litres of space at 0 C (273.16 K), then it will occupy only 1 litre when the temperature is "twice as cold", meaning -- in this context -- that the temperature goes down to half of its original value in absolute temperature.
273.16 / 2 = 136.58 K = -136.58 C = -213.84 F

Mathematically 0 degree. Logically -1

BUUUUT, considering that we are on Earth and the temperature is never in that range and by "It's supposed to be twice as cold" meaning that it's a forecast given by a meteorologist in the U.S. Then most likely it's 0 degrees F and a "ideal" temperature for us whiny humans is about 72 degrees F then one could also assume that the temperature is about 72 degrees F below ideal, meaning that twice as cold would be -72 degrees F. Of course if it means twice as cold in reference to the temperatures from yesterday that could mean nearly anything.
Temp(twice as cold) = (Yesterday's temp - (Yesterday's temp x 2))
Of course it could also mean the average temp for that day then it would be: Temp(twice as cold) = (avg temp - (avg temp x 2)).
Now if it's in Celcius...j/k

Probably around 0 to -2 degrees farenheit.

double zero degrees and the wind factor is zero

Ahaha 0x2=0 degrees
But....ahaha I have no clue
Well it sure does seem cold there
