How's the Weather There?

After having the Extreme Cold warning for the last two days, it's actually gone up to -1 C today. -20 C yesterday to -1 C today. Talk about your whack weather. :shakehead:

Hmm, it actually rained a bit. :headscratch:

sunny... but cold...

It's really pretty okay here in downtown san francisco... we're staying in hotel union square...

today sees the return of wind and rain. :shakehead:

Can you believe it the sun is out in England today!?!?!?! :shocked: I personally want snow though
:grumble:

I live in a whole. I have no idea what it's like in the outside world... tho the weather network tells me it's -10 C.

We got some snow last night! The best kind...the kind you don't have to shovel! :woot: Our temps will stay in the 20sF today. They will go up to 29F or -1.66 c.

I noticed some of you post that your weather is cold...How cold is it where you live?

You had sun in your part of England?! I haven't seen much sun here recently. Oh, and please don't wish for snow! Brrrr - I loathe the cold. :mrgreen:
I'm actually indoors at the moment, and I'm still cold and miserable. Pah.

Is that quite warm, Enna? It seems that here in the UK, anyone under about 30 (like me) only understands Celsius (older British people only seem to know Fahrenheit).

Yeah 40F is equal to 4.44c. Really I thought that Celsius was used by most of the world especially throughout Europe and Asia. Maybe the older folks in UK know the Fahrenheit system from all the American soldiers living there in WWII.
Or was Fahrenheit used there many years ago?

I don't know about the rest of Europe, but in the UK, Celsius is meant to be dominant. Up until the late 1970's, Fahrenheit was dominant, but the government changed this. In schools today Celsius is pushed. Weather forecasts use Celsius, although sometimes they also show Fahrenheit equivalents.

I am 29, and my bf is 44 - he is familiar with F, and I am with C.

That is interesting to know Keps! I never knew that the Fahrenheit system was ever used in the UK. Or as Wikipedia tells us:

The Fahrenheit scale was the primary temperature standard for climatic, industrial and medical purposes in most English-speaking countries until the 1960s. In the late 1960s and 1970s the Celsius (formerly centigrade) scale was phased-in by governments as part of the standardizing process of metrication.

I remember that they tried teaching the Metric System here in the USA, but it never took. I guess we are some slow and stubborn learners. :doh: :hehe: I go to onlineconversion.com to figure out our differences. :mrgreen:
