The sentence in question: 熊野那智大社によりますと、２５日午前７時の滝の周辺の気温は氷点下３度まで下がったということです。

My attempt at tramslation: "When it becomes evening at 熊野那智大社, concerning the
atmosphere of the surroundings of the waterfall at 7a.m on the 25th day (of
the month), it came down below freezing 3 times."

My translation is quite clumsy, but thats also because I struggled to resolve
this huge nominal phrase ２５日午前７時の滝の周辺の気温. Im also not sure wether
grammatically ５日午前７時 should be parsed as an adverb or part of the attribute
滝の周辺 to 気温. I mainly want to know if ３度まで should be interpreted as "three
times" like in "did X 3 times" or "was three times X" here. Id also like to
know wether it can actually be interpreted in both ways or just in one of the
two.

question
grammar
Does this ３度まで refer to quantity or frequency?
度 in this instance means 'degrees' （何℃）. 氷点 is the 'freezing point' and 下 is
'below'. 氷点下 means sub-zero or below-freezing. 氷点下3度 is 3° below.
