Not a problem, they’ll just turn on their heaters.

...oh yea, never mind.

For the nerds, without looking, at what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit equal?

[Larry Lucido]

So, ten degrees F. A bit chilly but folks have survived worse. The headline sounded like they were headed for absolute zero.

Hell would have frozen over. And the Lions would have won teh Superbowl.

[Larry Lucido]

At absolute zero? (See #4).

[EEGator]

No.
Absolute zero is -273.15 C and -459.67 F

[EEGator]

And zero Celsius is 273.15 Kelvin. (I started off in ChemE)

Bonus name one more temperature scale...

[goodnesswins]

-32 farenheit (lived in Saskatchewan awhile...experienced it)

[EEGator]

Closer, but no.

Thankfully the windmills and solar panels are up to the task. Just like in Texas last winter...... Oh! ❄🌬

[devere]

-40

[dagunk]

-40 degrees.
Rankine scale.

[rktman]

Like 90 below. 😲❄🌬

[EEGator]

Yep

[EEGator]

Chemistry guy?

[EEGator]

Like no. :)

[Gay State Conservative]

Global warming

[House Atreides]

They had best pray for the “windchill” temperature to be well below that. They need to get those windmills to be more productive.

[Gay State Conservative]

-12C is cold for Ireland.

[rktman]

Anything 20 deg f or lower is Griffin’ cold. 16 at our place this morning. Snowing now.
