Here's A Guess

from one who does not have a B.S. degree. Warm & Cold are relative terms and temperature scales are invented - hence the different scales of Fahrenheit, Celsius and Kelvin. For this problem one would need to know at what point the weatherman started for his determination that tomorrow would be "twice as cold". We all know that 2 times 0 is 0, so that isn't the answer. If the assumption that "cold" starts at the freezing point of 32 deg. F. then "twice as cold" from 0 would be minus 32 deg. F.
