Anywhere, nowhere

Sentence check please:

I'm nowhere as bad as you are.
I'm in no way as bad as you are.

I've never been anywhere as cold as you.
I've never been anywhere as cold as you are.
I've never been in anyway as cold as you are.

Which are the right ones? Thanks

To my ear, it's still a list of things -- more than one thing -- so I would use are in the case of and and in the case of or.
