Yesterday we saw the colorful Hebrew expression for really, really hot weather - חוֹם אֵימִים (khohm eh-ee-MEEM).


For those south of the equator (and those who don't like constant air conditioning), here's the even-more-colorful expression for really, really cold weather.


קוֹר כְּלָבִים (kohr keh-lah-VEEM) means, literally, cold of dogs. Imagine dogs barking because they're stuck outside in the cold.


קור is cold the noun, as in the cold.


כֶּלֶב - dog - (KEH-lev) is the singular form of כלבים
