In typing an e-mail to a friend, I said it was "as cold as a wet pecker in a sleet storm at a nudist colony". Let's see some better comparisons[I dare you-e]

Well, one of the women I worked with in Wellington used to say that "it was cold enough to freeze your tits off" to anyone who might be within earshot as she unravelled herself from her overcoat and scarf. Will that do?
The idiot also known as Capfka ...

Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
So cold the words froze in the air and we had to melt them in a hot frying pan to hear what we'd said.

Cold as a witch's tit.
Cold as a mother-in-law's glare.

It had to be a really dedicated nudist colony to stay out in a sleet storm. The idea of sleet scoring billiards is too painful to contemplate.

Thanks for the poetry link, Geoff. I've heard that poem done at Stone Circle and everyone comes in a little closer to the fire for that one. So, are we going to get a little more creative, people? Doesn't anyone do dares around this place?

It obviously doesn't get cold enough in your neck of the woods if you have breath enough to come up with expressions . Here, it gets so bad in the winter that the only thing we can say is it's F****** freezing.  (A bit of Frenchy slang for you: y fa frette en estie)
