Water doesn't freeze at a plus number, its 0, dead on. All this talk about +20F makes it sounds so warm there.

Fahrenheit is much more expressive for weather use. In Celsius you've got what, from -40 to 50 to cover most weather? In Fahrenheit, you've got from -40 to 120 to more accurately convey just how damn cold or hot it is.

very true, but I think Celsius is much older?

YAY!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooo looking to going back to Minnesota for school in January. All my friends think i'm nuts for going to school up there, but I love it! BRING IT ON! One day I want to do a winter trek through the boundary waters... that would be so fucking cool.

I have gone fishing up there...but I figure it's f8ckin cold right now ... sister is about 1 hour north of Duluth right now...she said it hurts to go outside, haha.

Fricking MN.

As soon as my daughter is grown and off to college I'm moving to the southwest. Phoenix or Vegas. Maybe Albequerque.

and what's so significant about the temp water freezes at? why is H2O so special?

yeah but -35F and -35C are almost exactly the same temperature...

but 0c and 32f are not.

Right now its 65F in NYC. Its real nice out. Rest of the week is gonna be raining and lower 40s. Last nice weather for the year in NYC I guess.

Isn't it what they based the C scale on?

Who cares about water? It isnt' like 0°C is the true freezing point of water either (it is slightly wrong and NOT dead on). If you wanted to choose a logical base, you might as well use Kelvin or Rankine or another scale with an absolute zero.

Fahrenheit is perfect for most humans because it is a human scale:

Below 0°F = fricking freezing outside.
Above 100°F = fricking hot outside.

Anything between those limits it is safe to be outside for quite some time in most conditions.

It doesn't snow above zero, it snows below zero. A little trick I picked up along the way.

yeah, but he was saying C is better because of that fact. but why should that matter?

It snows at 32-33F ... in celc, you are right, but in F you are wrong!

I'd rather use kelvin , bigger numbers, more accurate then both of them.

true, kelvin is a pretty bad ass scale...

Bah! Pop, Celsius, KMs.

For the past 6ys, I worked in the Yellowstone, Jackson Hole, east Idaho area installing insulation in the cold for about 12-15 hrs a day. Anything under 0 feels all the same to me. Coldest I've had to work is is about -50 in Hoback Junction just south of Jackson Hole and prayed the truck and equipment didn't break down. I now live in Southwest Arizona and make fun of the guys that still work there.

 

[pontifex]

it's like 58 here today in PA

 

[imported_Champ]

The more north you go, the colder!

 

[AnonymouseUser]

Crazy weather in Dallas today. 30F now, and we almost hit 80F yesterday. 🙁

 

[Gooberlx2]

*sigh* I miss those bitter-cold in Wisconsin, especially when visiting friends in Ashland or Duluth.

 

[Baked]

It's 51F in the city right now and I'm freezing my butt off. Gonna be 40F tonight. I think I'll have to start a camp fire in my bedroom.

 

[herm0016]

we are getting the same blizzard stuff, had about a foot of snow today, and its in the -30s for a wind chill.

I once walked from Ashland to Moquah. That was in summer, though.
I do not enjoy the winter there. I don't see how anyone could miss it if they ever actually had to live in it.

 

[OUCaptain]

Woke up to 16F. I think my third leg went completely inverted.

 

[Tiamat]

Invigorating not the appropriate word to describe how it feels?

 

[GoPackGo]

Global Warming FTL!
