"It’s a very frigid day" or "It’s frozen tears weather" or "It’s freezing outside" or "It’s a polar bear’s dream outside" or "Its Eskimo weather today" or "It’s as cool as an ice box outside."

In English, anything which conveys the sense of "it" being cold will basically work.

In the southern states such as Tennessee, native speakers will use colorful expressions such as "It’s colder than my wife’s shoulder when I come home drunk" or "It’s so cold out, Hell must have froze over."

When there is SnowWhen there is snow present, there are of course many ways to express this fact. Examples:

"There’s a blanket of snow covering those mountains" or "Just look at the white silk" or "Snowtime" or "I can see that Frosty and his friends are here" or "It’s Santa Claus weather."

The reference to "Frosty" refers to a popular American cartoon character named Frosty the Snowman.

The reference to Santa Claus has to do with the fact that Santa lives up at the North Pole, where there is always plenty of snow.

The term White Christmas means that it either snowed on Christmas Eve, or Christmas Day depending on when you celebrate this holiday.
