Is a slang expression Zero at the Bone?

"Zero at the Bone" means ""cold" as in "It's zero at the bone in here." A more common slang phrase that is closely related is: "Cold to the Bone," which is used to describe one's feelings of being cold, as in, "I'm "cold to the bone" (I am so cold that my bones ache with the cold, the cold having penetrated my body progressively deeper and deeper, I am almost cold clear through).

(A phrase which evokes a picture of a packing house with rows of hooks with animal carcasses hanging on them.)
