Everybody knows "it's brick" means very cold. Especially on those wind chill days. It comes from cold as a brick. Not to be confused with "it's bleeding" meaning ridiculous cold.
"it's bleeding" is reserved for those days that require you to blow on your hands, stomp your feet, and wipe your nose all within 30 seconds of leaving the comfort of home.
