be (as) cold as ice

1. To be very cold in temperature. My feet are cold as ice after being outside for hours. I'm wearing three sweaters because it's as cold as ice in here! It's as cold as ice in here because the heater's broken.

2. To be distant or unfriendly in temperament. Is Heather mad at me? She was as cold as ice when I tried to talk to her earlier. Because Mary Anne tended to be cold as ice around me, I always thought she didn't like me. Turns out, she's just shy. Mom and Grandma have been cold as ice to each other all day. I guess they still haven't reconciled after their fight on Thanksgiving.
