frostbite weather

Skin-damaging cold conditions

Frostbite weather is cold severe enough to cause frostbite—typically below 0°F (−18°C), especially with wind.

The phrase appears in weather forecasts and warnings: Bundle up, it's frostbite weather out there.

Exposed skin can freeze in minutes under such conditions.
