Similar in Ottawa except periodically it warms up enough to dump a load of snow and/or freezing rain on us.

 

[Andy]

Oh come on now! Minus 6 is warm! Silly Easterner! lol The freezing rain would suck though!!

 

[H011yHawkJ311yBean]

It was -30 ?C when I woke up this morning.... It's 11:30 am now, and oooh, would you look at that! It's warmed up one WHOLE DEGREE!!! lol It's supposed to be a high of -25... Hee hee hee

Really looking forward to this evening and Wednesday:
Tonight
Periods of light snow ending overnight then cloudy. Wind up to 15 km/h. Low minus 32. Extreme wind chill minus 43.

Wednesday
Clearing in the morning. Wind west 30 km/h becoming light in the evening. High minus 27. Extreme wind chill minus 46.

 

[Andy]

lol Chilly eh? I can only imagine what the wind chill will be for Wednesday morning!! lol Ah well, we have had a pretty nice winter so far so can't complain when it gets down to normal temps at this time of year. It does suck though when we have been so spoiled! :facepalm:

It should be against the forum rules to post things in Celsius

 

[Andy]

Just for you Daniel...

[h=2]24-Hour Precipitation Outlook[/h]

 

[Daniel E.]

-24?C

Is the heat wave still going?

 

[David Baxter PhD]

It's actually +2C (approx. 34F) today in Ottawa. Rain last night turned the sidewalks and parking lots into skating rinks. And of course the temperature will drop tonight to ensure that the ice doesn't melt down to the pavement and actually make walking possible...

 

[Cat Dancer]

Can you convert from celsius to fahrenheit in your head?

 

[David Baxter PhD]

With certain temperatures, yes, at least approximately. 0C = 32F, 20C = 68F, etc.

 

[Daniel E.]

And one could use the Kelvin scale to make Canada feel warmer.

-24 C = 249 kelvin

 

[Banned]

Can you convert from celsius to fahrenheit in your head?

Take the temperature in Celcius, multiply by 1.8 (or 2 for the sake of easy math) and add 32.

Except I never remember that rule when I need it :lol:.

 

[H011yHawkJ311yBean]

I just go to an online conversion site... lol If the world ends an all electronic devices go kablooie, I won't know how to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit anymore...

 

[Daniel E.]

And it's not good to enable the behavior of using Celsius
