Idioms for how cold it is?

[Overseasmom100]

Doing a list and Ive come up with these

It's brass monkeys
Arctic weather
Frozen to the bone
Like the death of winter
Like Jack Frost has been

My dc say it's "chilly Baltic".

Its a bit Pearl Harbour...

It’d freeze the balls off a brass monkey (I only recently learned that a brass monkey was a pile of cannon balls stacked into a pyramid)

My dad (west of Ireland) would still “starve with the cold” and “perish with hunger” and my great-aunt would have used those words just as empathetically the other way round.

It’s a bit parky out there.

Freezing my tits off.

Purely Baltic!

A scouserism (the purely part is pronounced 'pee-yahhh-lee' and the c on the end of Baltic is... Somewhat extra)

Proper cold.

DD used to say freezing chilly when she was about 5.

Our family's favorite cold weather phrases:

Jack Frost has paid us a visit (my mom's favorite thing to say)
I've got cold hands and feet (my dad said this often)
Here comes the snow

Time for a hot chocolate
Please shut the door

Foonert

My mother used to say "It's as cold as a step-mother's breath."

Ooh it's raw

I have a dim memory of the phrase 'It's perishing' for 'very cold' but am not sure if it was from where I spent my childhood (Aylesbury) or a West Midlands or Cotswolds phrase courtesy of one or other of my parents' families.

My late DMum used to say 'It's cold enough for a walking stick'.

Perishing, yes. Don't hear it now but it was widespread I think. Not particularly local idiom.

Absolutely knobbling

Although to say it properly it's 'Absolutely knobblin', mun.'

Right (reet) Parky

Yes- in yorkshire the oldies say things like 'it's perishing' and 'it's right raw today',

I say it's chilly willy.

Most of the time though it's just 'bloody freezing'.

Raw I say. Especially a raw wind.

Bit parkey out

Where does 'It's cold enough for a walking stick' come from? (I don't mean regionally speaking but what does it mean.)

Often heard around here:

My word time flies
It’s hot chocolate time
Baby it’s freezing
Let’s go down the pub
Cold snap

Nippy
Parky
Frozey
Fresh

It's so cold you could hang duffle coats off my nipples 😂

Absolutely bloody taters i say far too often
