Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey

It was a bitterly cold, snowy and wind-blown evening in early January when I told my son that it was, "Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey." Needless to say, he laughed and agreed with me.

There were a few kids there already, and had a fire going on shore, some were huddled around the fire. I couldn't bame them, it was cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.

I know this was during coon hunting season so it must have been sometime in December. It was cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
