Perhaps I should elaborate:

If it was 32 degrees yesterday and it is 0 degrees today, "twice as cold" would be -32 degrees

If it was 70 degrees yesterday and it is 0 degrees today, "twice as cold" would be -70 degrees

"Cold" is a perceptual variable and therefor has no fixed value, so until you assign it a value there is no correct answer.
