How to use freezing in a sentence?

1. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo:

   Our state, which has a beautiful tradition of social progress and community, should not leave anyone outside in freezing temperatures. That’s called basic humanity.

2. Marty Ralph:

   Warmer atmospheric temperatures, in general, will mean the freezing levels are higher than they've been in the past, but while storms vary, even without climate change and some can be extra warm, just by natural situation, it's clear the background warming should increase the [ freezing ] levels.

3. Ryan Maue:

   The combined flow at all levels of atmosphere was directed from the Atlantic over the Arctic and into Siberia, thus, warmer and moister marine air from Atlantic traveled over the Pole and raised temps to near or at freezing for a few hours. However, the warm advection event was short lived and temps are closer to normal well below 0.

4. Michael Grubb:

   I do not see people freezing, i do see unenviable choices, between a lot of companies going bust and who picks up the tab.

5. Carl Reiner:

   A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.
