It's not about moisture, it's about how it feels like

In Canada, what you really care about is how it feels like. If you look at that picture, you'll understand that the rest is irrelevant

Az, is that forecast for Montreal or Nunavit? And here we're complaining about it getting down into the teens (Fahrenheit) tonight!

Welcome home Azalin! It is balmy here in Windsor compared to Montreal and I can still green grass.

-11°C = 12.2°F
-14°C = 6.8°F
-17°C = 1.4°F

feels like -22°C = feels like -7.6°F

Hey Mark, green grass in Windsor? Gee!

Well, if you think Montreal is cold, here's a town in Nunavut, I'm not sure how much is -54°C in °F, but it ain't Florida

I can't remember if it's ((celsius degrees)*9/5) + 32 or ((celsius degrees+32)*5/9) or (pi * (celsius degress)^2), so it's either -65 degrees or -12.222222222 or 9156.24.

Hope this helps.

It's supposed to get down to -10C (14F) here tomorrow night. I've done my time in the Great White North (of the US), and there's a reason I moved south of the Mason-Dixon line. SO IT WON'T GET THIS DAMN COLD, at least in mid-December!!! It's below freezing out now, plus there's a pretty stiff breeze.

I'll look on the bright side, though. The days will be getting longer in a week. Oh, yeah, and there's that 8-key Grinter I ordered for my wife two Christmases ago. It should be here in a few days.

Unfortunately, I don't see myself getting any playing time on it during the break-in period.

It's supposed to be in the low twenties in Atlanta tonight. I guess convertible season is officially over.

-54 celsius is -65 farenheight. The formulas are-

Tf = (9/5)*Tc+32; Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius, Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32); Tc = temperature in degrees Celsius, Tf = temperature in degrees Fahrenheit

The way that I do the conversion though, is-

Last night, in my little corner of Central Florida, it got down to 30f (-1.1c). Pretty cold for around these here parts, but it can and does get cooler.

If you don't like the cold, come here. It's only now just sort of starting to feel like winter. We didn't really have a fall this year. O.o

Twas a balmy 16F this AM when I left for work.

Steven · Post by **Steven** » Wed Dec 15, 2004 9:40 am

22F (-5.5C) when I left this morning. Almost enough to make me glad to arrive at work, just because it's warmer!

Of course the easiest temperature to do the Celcius -> Fahrenheit conversion (or the reverse) is -40 degrees. -40 C = -40 F! Luckily, I've never actually experienced that particular temperature except reaching into some scientific freezers (some of which are kept at -70C or -80C).
