Hace un frío que pela

[CrOtALiTo]

I may give my opinion.

In the phrase commented before, I believe that could be better wrote as Hace frio que asusta.
Already that pela word is a bad word on my country.
Please keep in mind my point.

Sincerely yours.

Sí, Poli, estas cosas de la temperatura son relativas... He marcado un par de correcciones en el español...
En azul una sugerencia. (El uso de "invitar" como lo haces no suena español... quizá, "Ahora invitaría a venir a unas brisas canadienses" pudiera sonar más español, pero lo que te he puesto en corchetes [brackets] creo que es lo que querías decir, ¿verdad? (Now I feel like having some Canadian breezes...)

I understand, CrOtALiTo, in Spain that is a cliché. But it is also used with many, many different variants, more or less polite.
"Hace un frío de miedo/de narices/de perros/de muerte/de infarto/de mil demonios/de co*ones (not putting the full word here, but it can be found in verbal speech in Spanish as well as in Google)/de la ch*ngada (again another taboo word, but still in use...) and so on and so forth.
(The amount of expressions with "Hace un frío de___" is not unlimited, but I get 8,000,000 hits in Google...

Yes I agree with your point now.

Cuando hace frio lo hace.
When it's cold is the dead in alive.

Thank you. I am not sure of your last sentence. Can you clarify? It seems like you are giving an English cliché, but something seems off, as I cannot recognize. I think of the Spanish "Cuando hace frío es estar muerto vivo", if that is something we could say? I heard "muerto en vida" in Spanish... but that's about it... (Let me know!)
