"So cold you could hang meat" = Lạnh đến mức có thể treo thịt -> Ý là trời/thời tiết/phòng quá lạnh đến nỗi thịt bị đông luôn hoặc thành nơi để đông lạnh thịt.

Ví dụ
“It was so cold you could hang meat and we had nothing to eat, and as a result the child died of cold and hunger”.

I remember arriving at St Mary's after my morning trudge (lê bước, đi chậm chạp) through the snow, sleet (mưa đá, mưa tuyết) and hail to a classroom so cold you could hang meat in it.

61 degrees — Former TV anchor John Dwyer of Jobs for Tennessee Graduates with his wife, Lynley. "Both of us prefer to have it so cold you could hang meat," Dwyer writes. "We don’t belong to a country club or even have a garage, so this is our guilty pleasure. Okay, one of them."
