As an Aussie, why did you end up in frozen Tundra? If you wated wide open spaces, west Tx., NM, AZ and NV seem more sane to this Fl. boy.

At least it's zero degrees Fehrenheit, if it were Celcius, it would be really cold!

The reverse actually, zero degrees C is 32 F. Its zero degrees Kelvin you have to worry about.

Ida hoped she would go away!!!!

BUT, it's going to make landfall than HOOK south and come back down the state. Should be all gone by later this week and than its REALLY going to cool down to the low 80's upper 70's.

I might have to even get out one of my three long sleeve T-Shirts... :P

I gotcha, Path.  ;)

0 deg F = -18C.

I'm in South Georgia and we're already getting strong gusts and steady winds. Predicting 4 to 12 inches in the next 12 to 24 hours.
Should be all we get out of it.
Saying my prayers for those folks bearing the larger brunt of the storm.

Huh? Water freezes at 0 C and 32 F, eg 0 F be colder, not so backwards. I did miss the joke though, thought it was just a brain fart on your part Timothy. My bad.

It's a play on measurement readings.....

Actually, the temp is the same regardless of scale.  
If the temp is 0C then it's 32F,,,,,if it's 0F then it's -18C.

I had a teacher once that would get his feathers in a ruffle over the definition of "cold". He said temperature is relative only to heat or the lack thereof. The temperature scale measures the "absence of heat" not how "cold" it is. He was rather touchy in his pet peeve.

Teachers go to prison for that nowadays, FQ, not like the last time you had science.  :o
