Ann just posted that it was -15°F in Chicago this morning... up to -10°F right now, and it is -7° F here in St. Louis now.... at 9:30 a.m. Unbelievably cold, and abnormal temps. It hasn't gotten below 0° F in years... down to 0°, but not below it. The last winter that we reached this kind of low was in the late 1980s... and it lasted for much of winter, so I'm afraid we're "in for it" this year.<br /><br />Love your conversion chart. Tim's calculations make my head spin, however ( x9/5? x 5/9? really?)<br /><br />heh heh :)<br /><br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-75033630970374144682014-01-06T13:59:42.450+01:002014-01-06T13:59:42.450+01:00Je viens de voir que la température à Urbana, clim...Je viens de voir que la température à Urbana, climat continental, est de –24ºC, tandis qu'à Saint-Aignan nous avons +14ºC — presque une canicule, vue la saison.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-63578201346650850682014-01-06T13:01:25.292+01:002014-01-06T13:01:25.292+01:00C'est parceque les façades orientales des cont...C'est parceque les façades orientales des continents sont plus chaudes que les façades continentales à cause de la rotation terrestre.

The weather is notoriously fickle.<br /><br />Tim, I used to know those formulas, yes, but now I just use the computer and <a href="http://www.sciencemadesimple.com/conversions.html" rel="nofollow">this site</a>. Also these approximate conversions help a lot:<br /><br /> –5C —> 25F<br /> 0C —> freezing<br /> 5C —> 40F<br /> 10C —> 50F<br /> 15C —> 60F<br /> 20C —> 70F<br /> 25C —> approaching 80F<br /> 30C —> approaching 90F<br /> 35C —> damn hot<br /> 40C —> 100+F stay insideKen Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-59346575562223921292014-01-06T09:02:10.363+01:002014-01-06T09:02:10.363+01:00I don't think the weather system will come our...I don't think the weather system will come our way. What is occurring is that the cold air in the Arctic Vortex which is normally centered on the north pole is offset, displaced, shifted and deformed. My guess is that it will stay like this for several weeks quite stable, then shift back into its normal position. Horrible if you are under it, weird if you are to the north of it.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-17453682762148440762014-01-06T08:54:32.647+01:002014-01-06T08:54:32.647+01:00I'm with Starman on the pix!!
