I’d guess it’s all relative to their norms, do they build for the cold? Their weather from what I gather falls within a much narrower band since the Atlantic regulates them much better than what we get to enjoy from Siberia and the Pacific.

We aren’t that cold anymore- it’s unusual to drop below zero f now- back in the 70’s, 80’s 90’s though, we woudl get anywhere from 1-4 weeks of really blistering cold -20’s, sometimes -30’s- That was on east coast, with the cold air off the ocean in winter- it was brutal- now, some years, we don’t even get snow until Feb sometimes- and might drop to -10 f for a week or 2

Celsius and Fahrenheit temperatures are equal at -40°.
Kelvin and Rankine temperatures are equal at 0. (absolute zero)

[[much better than what we get to enjoy from Siberia]]

Lol- enjoy isn’t quite the word i’d use- but yeah- people in southern states would stop functioning if temps dropped to -30 probably- northerners have had to learn to cope i guess-

We once lost our electricity for 2 weeks in the middle of winter- and it was -10 for most of those days- luckily we had a wood furnace and could stay warm-

I broke the ice on a stream near our home to wash my hair before going out - word of advice- never do that ! LOL- instant headache and pain-

I think this -12 C will turn out closer to -5 C but anyway, if it gets cold enough, they can get very heavy snow in eastern Ireland as the northeast winds cross the Irish Sea which is still in the low 50s (F). It would be a sort of reverse Buffalo snow belt.

There is a subtitle difference between Centigrade and Celsius.
Centigrade uses the freezing point of water (0°) and the boiling point of water (100°C).
Celsius is kelvin -273.15°.

You are off by 50 F°. The answer is -40°C = -40°F.

20 below when I lived outside of Oneonta, NY. Could spit and it was frozen before it hit the ground.

Kelvins are another one of those amazingly powerful alien species that Capt. Kirk manages to befriend (at least by the end of the episode!) in Star Trek TOS, and then you never hear of them or their technology again...

He didn’t truly befriend them unless he had his way with one of their womenfolk. At least that’s typically how the plotlines went . . .

It’s not the cold, it’s the humidity.
