* One ''ComicBook/ScroogeMcDuck'' comic has Scrooge bet he can finish a dogsled race faster than a competitor. The judge starting a race proves how cold it is by spitting on the ground, which turns into an ice cube midair.

* ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfBaronMunchausen'' by Gottfried August Burger: Hunting in the Russian winter, Munchausen is attacked by a bear just when he has disassembled his gun to repair it. The baron takes refuge in a tree, but accidentally drops the knife he needs to assemble the gun. By directing "[[BringMyBrownPants the stream of that water of which there is plenty of supply in great fear]]" onto the handle of the knife, the baron creates an icicle by which he pulls up the knife, then assembles the gun and shoots the bear. (This tale is not in the English ''Munchausen'' book by Rudolf Erich Raspe.)

One indicator of how [[UpToEleven ridiculously cold]] a place is is when your own body fluids wind up freezing mid stream when expelled. The most common ones being snot, tears, and urine, but on rare occasions can be things like blood and vomit. Whatever it is, expect it to go from liquids to ice cubes or fixtures within a matter of seconds.

Not to be confused with the expression "[his/her/my] blood froze", a metaphor for an OhCrapRealization with heavy overtones of fear.

* ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': The BadassBeard that Beartic possesses is essentially this trope, being made from its previous evolution Cubchoo's SnotBubble turned ice fixture.

Usually PlayedForLaughs. May also be a form of ToiletHumour if its urine or vomit. Overlaps with NatureTinkling if the character is peeing outdoors and it happens, and NoseNuggets and FreezeSneeze if it's snot.

* In the audio book ''Tell Me a Story'', the story "Ciann Moore" establishes the weather as so cold, the cows give ice cream instead of milk.

* ''Literature/{{Superheroes}}'': Due to a sudden, very cold, very hard Siberian wind. Bolshe-Man decides to keep his frozen body in his Fortress Of Solidarity much like Lenin, though it's pointed out Lenin gets more visitors.

* Baron Larrey, surgeon to the French armies in the Napoleonic Wars, described frostbite and "congelation" as important reasons for the defeat of the army in Russia in 1812. what he meant by "congelation" was the nasty tendency, in temperatures way below zero, not only of urine to begin freezing as it was being expelled, but for the urine stream to freeze faster than it could be ejected - with frozen urine blocking the penis. "Congelation" also occured during defecation, with the sufferer who was baring his arse to Siberia suddenly discovering he was trying to excrete a very unpleasant ice cube. Congelation as a hazard of extreme cold was rediscovered by the German medical services in Russia in 1941 and the subsequent winters.

There are all kinds of climates in this world, whether they are hot, humid, windy, or freezing cold. In the case of that last one, the temperatures there can range from nippy, to freeze-your-nuts-off, to almost sub-zero. So you got to pack warm if you don't want to suffer hypothermia, which is ''not'' a pleasant way to die.
