    That doesn't sound all that good. I'm making corned beef and cabbage this week. Our weather is going to suddenly turn cold on Wednesday - from the 90's to the 60's. Time for winter dinners.

    In the later winter, our norm is 20-35. I've seen it as cold as -15, but that's rare. We only get snow about 6-10 days a year, and usually just inches. The best thing is that I can be to the ski resorts in 20 minutes, and to Tahoe skiing in less than an hour. :)

    Winter sucks.

    I'm too tired to convert it, so you'll all have to figure it out, but our winters can get pretty darn cold, -30 celsius is not unheard of. The norm is in the -10 to -20 range. It's gotten into the -50's, then the whole country just stops. No school, no work, cars won't start, water lines freeze, it's bad.

    I just had a plate of leftover onion rings. I made them last night. I'm going to regret this later. :(

    I have been meaning to convert your stuff when you say it Alty but I am also to lazy to do it. Here in Indiana weather changes a lot. Hell, it was in the high eighties a week ago and now it is in the mid 60's. Sometimes in mid winter it coud be 30 one day and then 60 something the next day then back to 30 the day after that. Crazy stuff

    Okay lazy bum.

    I converted it.

    Apparently -30C is -22F, -50C = -58F and -40C is -40F.

    There. :)

    I actually looked it up. I am so confused by it. Why didn't they make things like that all the same. Same thing with Standard and metric. I hate metric and I am sure others hate standard

    Man, that is cold. The few times we were below zero I could hardly stand it.

    Well Adam, that's what happens when you have several people looking for the same thing in different parts of the world and they hate each other...

    From England, you have the lord Kelvin, who invented the Kelvin scale (another unit for temperture)
    From Germany, you have Fahrenheit (wikipedia)
    From Sweden, you have Celsius (wikipedia)

    :rolleyes:

    I only knew that people are reluctant to let all people use others discoveries :) I didn't know where they came from, but was sure of the reluctant thing.
