sub-zero
Colder than ice
Sub-zero describes temperatures below zero degrees, whether Celsius or Fahrenheit depending on context.
The term evokes extreme cold: sub-zero wind chills, sub-zero conditions in the Arctic.
Figuratively, sub-zero can describe anything icily hostile or emotionally frozen: She gave him a sub-zero stare.
