It's cerainly not standard, but the meaning is clear and I use it all of the time.

It's unnecessary to have the 'freezing ' in. It's like saying the fire is burning hot.

Here, you need 'freezing' because it could be cold but not always 'freezing cold'.

I agree that 'freezing' adds meaning, but, once you use it, 'cold' does not. It's never 'freezing hot' or even 'feezing cool'
