Where I was born and raised, minus 20-22 F was a fairly normal daytime winter temp.
That was back in the day when we talked in Fahrenheit.
Now when I speak Fahrenheit, my daughter says she has no idea what I am saying
Canada officially switched in the early seventies, but I have always needed to convert back and forth.
Fahrenheit is more accurate
And good morning, friends
Good morning M
Are you using Celsius now?
Thank goodness for mild winters. -1C is more or less our coldest day.
G'morning sir GandyGood morning M
Are you using Celsius now?
Yes, we be speaking in the C's for a while now, though I am bilingual LOL
I can tell when it is about 4* C... gloves are needed.
Our coldest on the coast used to be the rare minus 7 C,
though the last couple of years it has dipped to minus 8
G'morning sir Gandy
Like my dad. He always talks about feet and inches and we use meters and millimeters ... I mean really; who is still using feet?
Now all the Americans are going to jump all over me
Where my parents lived I experienced -8C once (without snow) but that was cold..............

man, if the US ever switches to metric I'll be lost.........
I remember they touched on it a little when I was in grade school but not to much.
some of the school work my boys were bringing home had more and more metric related questions on it.....
I asked him to grab his ruler and messure something for me the other day, he said
"Um mom. what do you want me to messure with? the inches side or the CM side?"

now see, THAT sounds sooooooooo cold until I plug it into google converter and see that in F it is 19.4 (which is still cold, but doesn't sound as bad)
Well here it is weird, especially shopping for groceries, because some things areLike my dad. He always talks about feet and inches and we use meters and millimeters ... I mean really; who is still using feet?
Now all the Americans are going to jump all over me
marked per kilo and other per pound, so it is near impossible to compare prices LOL
Do they do this on purpose???
And my daughter, who does not have any grasp at all of Fahrenheit, still goes by feet and inches, and the ounce measures for cooking, like a quarter cup of butter and not 250 grams. SO it is a real mixed bag here. Even I cannot understand things like my height and weight in metric LOL. I need it in feet and inches and pounds

That is confusing
we only use kilograms and meters.
Yeah, I need a converter for just about everything but temperature
My auto formula for the temp is: to convert from C to F, double and add 30. It is close enough Going from minus to above zero would prolly bungle that though LOLOLOLOLOLOL15C with this formula is the perfect match
15 X 2 = 30 + 30 = 60. 15C = 60F
We talk in centimetres and metres and our temp is in degrees, but we are odd
Santa wears thongs and we have pet kangaroos instead of dogs and cats lol.
Bwahahaha Santa and his thongs bwahahaha can't get that picture out of my head
