Hey, come up to Canada!
Where I’m living, it’s -22 currently with a high of -8! (Hold on, are your temperatures in Fahrenheit? Okay, then I do feel bad for you too. Hopefully it’s not windy down there)
My mom’s side of the family comes from Minnesota. The Virginia area. Now they all live up on Lake Vermillion. The lake up there freezes to the thickness that they drive on it. I think that would be kind of fun.
Several years ago I remember calling my colleague Freddie Geier in Germany to tell him that the temperature that day was the same in Celsius as in Fahrenheit… -39°
I’m in upstate NY, it dropped from 50 this morning to 30 right now. We’re in the middle of that big wind storm that’s been traveling across the country.
P.S. 50 mph winds. trees down, roofs gone, power out in half the town. general craziness everywhere! I’m waiting for the power to go here at work so i can go home. Come on storm!
I lived in Montana for nearly 24 years, so it was not unusual to see temperatures well below 0 F…that was sometimes a heat wave! I’m currently living in Illinois, and the winters are so much tamer here…the ice storms suck, but past that, they aren’t too bad. Today has been about the worst we’ve seen, and that is just barely reaching 0 F.
Yes, the U.S. should convert to metric! Let’s start with the speed signs! And only offer milk in by the liter containers! Think about it…the larger bottles of soda pop generally come in 1 or 2 liter bottles, not in quart or gallons like milk.

Haha. “Sunny.”
nice edit
We’ve had a really warm winter here until last week. Yesterday was horrible!
Seriously, that’s in farenheit?
That’s cold in the UK and we use centigrade
Dress up warm

Yes, unhappily it is fahrenheit.
It’s not that bad!
We’ve had -35 (-31 F) (without windchill) here a few years ago!

He thought I was making it up.
yup, using 40Ëš is useful when converting between temperatures. It’s supposed to be exactly the same.
Anyway, you Americans need to go metric
It’d be so much easier that way.

um… around 70 here in Miami.
Look on the bright side, as the forcast shows you’ll get a 15deg warm up by tomorrow…
