How cold is it where you are?

Cold? Extremely. They say a record-breaker. During the day with the wind chill factor it was about -35 C (not sure how this converts to Farenheit.) Supposed to "warm up" sometime next week to about + 2 C. On the radio they actually placed a takeout breakfast of cereal, juice, a latte and a banana out on the street to see how long it would take to freeze (almost instantly.) They also advised people under 50 kg to stay inside. I didn't and almost got blown down the street by a blustery wind, something like the regular occurrence in "The Flying Nun" TV series might have happened. Perhaps I would have landed somewhere sunny and warm. Whatever.

We had a wee cold snap at the end of Dec. and the begining of January. Pretty mild here in British Columbia.

I am currently in Southern California (went to Disneyland yesterday) and even though it rained today it is still in the 70s. Even now at almost 6pm.

It's been about -30 to -40 C here with the wind chill. yuck.

It is cold - all of 14F right now which is -10 C with wind chills to -4F or -20C and lower! Good night to stay inside!

I thought it was cold here in central North Carolina but not compared to most of you. We are in our 3rd day of around 17 at night and 35 for the high plus wind. It was terrible outside today at 34 and windy. This is colder than normal for us. Tomorrow we are to have light snow/sleet/freezing rain.

Currently it's 16 degrees, with a 6 degree windchill. It was much worse a few days ago.

**Lady's Human** · 01-24-2013, 10:14 PM

+1F

Combined with the wind up on our little piece of the hill, it's a touch chilly out.

Better, however, than Ft. Drum, which is going to be a balmy -17F tonight. I spent 2 years there, never realized how acclimated to the cold I had become until I went for my morning run in shorts and a t-shirt, then checked the weather when I got back and it was barely 30F.

gorgeous spring is here in NZ, crispy cold mornings and nights still and we had some bad storms last week, but typical of spring, along with all the sneezing grr,but other than that brilliant sunshine today and very pleasant 12 c or 53F with high of 17 predicted, my kind of temps .

A quick trick to go from C to F (not exact but in the ball park): double the C temperature and add 30.

-35(C) x 2 = -70, +30 ~= -40F

F to C: Subtract 30 from the F temperature, divide the result in half.

Right now, it is 29 F with freezing rain and very slick ice covered roads. They are telling people to stay indoors. Many churches have canceled services.
