[P.O.E.]

IIRC, Celsius originally had 0 as the boiling point, and 100 as the freezing point.

Break out the coal.

Great weather to live in one of those cute stone cottages.

[EEGator]

I know. That’s cold for me too.

I’ve been reading a ton of trivia, and I’m losing my social skills.

[EEGator]

That I did not know, and have learned something new on FR again.

10.4 F....that isnt too bad. its the wind that makes me feel cold when its that low, and lower, like a few days ago.

January 2014...I spent a night in Val d’Or,Quebec. Woke up in the morning and as I was checking out the TV in the lobby said -40C.A few minutes later the gauge on my dashboard said -40F. Damn cold!

[PAR35]

Oh, I know the answer.

“Alex, what is global warming?”

[Gay State Conservative]

It’s bad for Ireland...where they’re accustomed to rainy,dreary,chilly weather but never 90F...or 10F.

Ireland’s Climate Change “Famine” of the 20’s.

Dead Irish and “Black Irish” folks (Africans Illegals) to help the WEF spread the word.

The sunspot minima may be starting to affect the weather. Cold weather is predicted for the next 30 years by Professor Zharkova of Northumberland U.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Ugh, I can’t even imagine the hell (frozen hell) of that temp. I got frostbite in my hands years ago and foolishly tried to defrost them near a car heater and holy cow, the pain was unreal, like getting smashed in the hands by a sledgehammer.

[Olog-hai]

The turf, too.

The law now says (since November 1) that anyone caught burning “excessive” amounts of turf can face two years in prison.

[17th Miss Regt]

Minus 40.

[Larry Lucido]

I remember Centigrade but I believe it’s the same as Celsius.

[EEGator]

Yep.

[EEGator]

Post #12 got both. The other scale is Rankine.
Those are the same.

[Bob434]

they are hyperventilating over 10 degrees? That’s a balmy day for us in the winter months! Try 32 below zero f with 45 mph winds and working outdoors all day! (Course we don’t get those days/weeks as much anymore, but we used to get them regularly) And there are places even worse than that- I remember fishing on a day that was -40 f (no wind) and beign as snug as a bug in a rug with my Eddie Bauer Down Filled Jacket on- sitting on a 5 gallon pail fishing for perch- for hours- (Course we got to warm up cutting more holes with auger as we moved from spot to spot)

I don’t know where you live, but it sounds terrible…
