frozen solid
Hard as ice
Frozen solid describes something completely frozen throughout, with no liquid remaining: The lake was frozen solid by January.
The phrase intensifies frozen—a pond may be frozen on top but not frozen solid.
Solid here works as an adverb meaning completely: packed solid, booked solid.
