While we're pointing out extreme outliers out of context to the discussion, water can also remain liquid well below 0c https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercooling

The lethality greatly depends from place to place and that's hardly "extreme outliers". For example Hong Kong's record low temperature is 0.0 °C [1] and a single digit Celcius is considered "very cold"; people can and do die of hypothermia at that range if they are "poorly prepared".
