Froze

Hello, could you please tell me whether there is any difference between the following sentences?

My feet were freezing cold.

Thank you

Only 'My feet were freezing cold' is correct. It's an example of over-exaggeration, meaning 'My feet were very cold'. Rover_KE (Still wishing a moderator or administrator could help to restore my log-in ability)

Only the 2nd is acceptable English, semantically speaking.
