I first heard it one bitterly cold morning on parade in the RAF in 1963. The person who said it was a born comedian and on a previous similar occasion had said "It's cold enough for two pair of shoelaces". Much of his comedy was absurd as are these two sayings but we always thought him funny. I don't know if he was the originator but it wouldn't surprise me if he was.

If you've suddenly developed a desire for braces...there's more than enough pairs here... ;)

Not heard of it either, but what about this one ?:
' It's cold enough for a walking stick.'

Just Goonish humour, I think.
