Bonus name one more temperature scale...
-32 farenheit (lived in Saskatchewan awhile...experienced it)
Closer, but no.
Thankfully the windmills and solar panels are up to the task. Just like in Texas last winter...... Oh! ❄🌬
-40
-40 degrees.
Rankine scale.
Like 90 below. 😲❄🌬
Yep
Chemistry guy?

Global warming
