Right now in Boston:

[urbpan]

The temperature is FOUR DEGREES. A high of 18 later today.

I can't get the internet to give me a converter at the moment, but it's well below 0 in c degrees. (-20 or something?)

If it were forty below I wouldn't have to convert from f to c, but I would also cry.

Edit: Whoops! There we go! The dashboard says it's sixteen below with a high of -8 today! Enjoy your summer, my Australian friends!

I've had the air-con set to 24C today. That was lovely and cool. Any colder would have been too cold for me.

It was around 40C outside.

Well, we in NYC are ahead of you by 10F.

14F this morning, which is below the predicted low for the day.

And 53F predicted for Monday's High. Sheesh!

I'm jealous of your extra three degrees. :[

i'm about to go out and walk the dogs, you can stop feeling jealous now.

Whoa, that's cold!

Yeah. ONE degree up here in New Hampshire when I left for work. Makes this Oregon-grown gal downright homesick. At least rain is warm.

At times like this I remind myself that polar fleece is one of the best inventions of the 20th century: lightweight, wonderfully insular even when wet, machine washable. Imagine if you had to wear itchy, smelly wool...

Here in DC it's in the 30s, finally cold enough to feel like actual winter and give me Rudolph nose.

Time for hot chocolate!

A toasty 20 degrees here in Pennsylvania. I need to dig out my summer wardrobe!

At least you're not there. (Our high today is expected to be at the freezing point. Will feel a little colder with some wind chill, but still not unbearable. My sympathies to your cold-hating household!)

Harshest weather conditions ever recorded!

It's 1 degree right now, feels like -18. S'posed to warm up to thirty tomorrow here, which means you should hopefully get it by Friday!

Google is a great converter - just type in anything you want into the search box, and it does it for you. Ex:

0F to C
2cups to gallons
3kg to ounces
10 miles to k

etc.

If you're using a Mac, you have a universal convert in the widgets called "Unit Converter". 4˚F is -15.55˚C

Here is my forecast for the next four or five days:



They are predicting wind gust up to 40MPH, which is always a lot of fun when you live 40 blocks from the Pacific Ocean in a house made of sticks (mostly wood frame). You can see the water in the toilet sloshing back and forth when the weather gets like this.

It's up to 1C here in Toronto for the high today so lots warmer than yesterday.

I kind of like it, it reminds me of Ottawa (National capital of Canada and our home for ten years) bright sunny days with -20 C. I think -20 is where the two measurements meet actually, not -40. Could be wrong tho.

0 c is freezing which is easy to remember, -20 is -20 regardless of which measurement you use F. or C. and it's useless to put salt down, it won't melt the snow at that temperature (try to tell G.D. WHO puts salt on everything).

Thats why we never had the problem of salt ruining everything i Ottawa they just put dirt down and shovelled it up in the spring. I hear talk of them trying the same down south, here in Toronto.

Yup, it's cold. For the first time this winter my toes were actually cold.

Ha ha ha!

this is my favorite converter on the web (and for some reason i find it amusing that it's in buffalo): http://www.wbuf.noaa.gov/tempfc.htm

stay warm!

There's also a simple way to convert F to C: Subtract 32, and then multiply by 5/9.
So if it's 4 F, it's (-28) (5/9) C, which is, um...

-15.56 C. Bleh.

[urbpan.livejournal.com]

Ah the simplicity of multiplying by fractions!

[buboniclou.livejournal.com]

lol ok, ok, I was on the math team :/

It's been nice the past week or so, but back right before Christmas we had almost a month of -20C and below weather... and that was before windchill. :P

I do expect we'll hit our bout of -40 (usually some 3-7 days) in... late Jan. or early/mid Feb.

But today it's chinooking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinook_wind) pretty nice, and +3C. :D And sunny, even. Shame though -- if there'd been enough snowfall at the local airport Jan. 1st (there was none!) I would not have had to pay for my Mexico vacation.

Dang! That's super cold!!! At least you didn't have horrible rain, flooding, and no power like me! :P
