вообще говоря, freezing означает просто "очень холодно", не обязательно ниже 0С.
It's freezing in here - can I close the window?
или же freezing cold
Such youngsters cannot be put to bed in freezing cold bedrooms that have no radiators.
Про погоду часто говорят freezing, freezing temperatures - и здесь это обычно означает мороз, ниже 0.

Freezing = очень холодно температуре воздуха на улице или в помещении). It’s freezing out, put on your winter coat.
Frosty = морозно. То есть не просто холодно, но и морозно (лёд на водных поверхностях, узоры на окнах, пар изо рта и т.д.). It’s a frosty morning today. Look at all the ice.

Да, выбор слов зависит от температуры. У меня вот тут -20°C, и ничего мягче "It'd bloody cold" в голову не приходит :)
