Twice as Cold o.o?

[Insomnom]

In this "cold" is relative. Because the English language sucks! Yaaaaaaaaaaay.
<3 English.

Anyway-
If you're used to 60 degree weather, then it's 60 degrees colder than normal today.. being that it's 0.
Thus, technically, it'd be 120 degrees colder tomorrow.
But considering it's just what people sayyyy... it doesn't mean anything. ;D

Lets think now. Say if today was 20 degrees, and tomorrow is going to be twice as cold. That would mean 20 x 2 = 40. Twice of 20 is 40. Now subtract it from 20 and you get -20 degrees. So now how would you apply this to 0 degrees?

Well, if you would have read my post. I clearly explained.
-pokes your forehead-

It's relative. Not mathematical.
If someone on the weather channel said "twice as cold as today", when it's zero degrees, and actually meant it, then they're pretty dumb.
But if someone says it in passing, they're most likely comparing relative cold, not actual temperature.

Me thinks I said it correctly too.
