1) so cold
2) such a cold weather (weather is uncountable, so no article.)

3) so noisy
4) such a noisy party
5) so much food
6) such a bad food (food is uncountable, so no article.)

7) ~~such a little food~~ so little food (opposite of so much food; see 5, above.)

8) so slowly
9)such a good time
10) so many times
11) ~~such intelligent~~ so intelligent (intelligent is an adjective. The noun form is intelligence: such intelligence.)

12) such a bad temper

It might be useful to remember that so goes before a measurement of amount: so many, so few, so much, so little.

So - is followed by adjective. i.e. I am so tired that I can fall asleep standing up.

I am so hungry.

Such -is followed by noun (preceded by adjective).

John is such a gentlemen that he always opens doors for ladies.

She is such beauty!

Note: Both are usually used with "that".

It's so cold that my toes are numb.
