Today was the first day this winter that my temp gauge bottomed out at -30°C (-22°F). It's -47°C (-52.6°F) with the wind chill.Please remind me why I live here!

It's 5*C right now here...and to us, this is cold this season. We were spoiled with like 16*C temperatures the past week or so.But it's all good. I'll take my 5*C over your -30*C any day!

im not sure what it is in celsius, but over the holiday weekend, i enjoyed temps of 65F and even higher! i was driving around in late december with the windows down and the moonroof all the way open. now it sucks because it's in the low 20s and windy as hell.

[pmh013]

65F = 18.3C (you suck)20F = -6.6C (boo hoo, I feel so bad for you)

[redlava]

Ouch! And I thought the 7 degrees F with a -5 F windchill here today was bad enough. The Vibe didn't like it much, engine would barely turnover.

i never could figure out why we never went to the metric system. made no sense since in school we did everything in the metric system!

[ragingfish]

Agreed. We're the ONLY country in the world that doesn't use metric. And at least you were taught it in school, we were barely even tought anything metrical (if that's a word).I'm trying to learn metric on my own. Converting my posts to celsius and kilometers I do not only for the benefit of our Canadian friends, but also to help me learn the correllation between our systems. I do know that right now it's 18*F out, so that's below 0 in celsius. Plus, my handy dandy weatherbug let's me swap between celcius and farenheit in a snap.Question though: I've heard people refer to temps as celcius and centigrade. Which is the proper terminology?
