For our non-U.S. readers: - 40 Fahrenheit and -40 Celsius are the same temperature. In these low registers, the two meet.
Still not as cold as Fairbanks!
ReplyDelete-40 before wind chill. Now that's cold. You can feel the heat leaving your body through many, many layers of clothing...
-40 is not exactly the cat's pajamas - I moved away from there as quickly as I could.
Good gracious! Y'all are welcome to visit NC! It'll be in the 20s here on Friday! The low will be around 10, I think. Last time I checked we had room for a few more.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be needing your mittens and thermals then.
ReplyDeleteI don't use metric or imperial. I prefer Randall Munroe.

-40 is 'spit goes clunk'
Yes, I have seriously considered printing out the XKCD guide at http://www.xkcd.com/526/ and taking it to Europe with me! It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI guess, with the wind chill factor, it would be something like spit goes clunk very far away, or spit smacks you in the face and leaves a scar!
Wow, Denver is balmy!
ReplyDelete"Plentiful sunshine. High 57F. Winds WSW at 5 to 10 mph."
Of course, since the bitter cold hit us in December this year instead of waiting for February, I won't gloat.
