see this i dont understand...-10 celcius here, wasn't the coldest to date though and that makes it 14 degrees fahrenheit. Over in Winnipeg, they got -40 celcius, which makes it -40 fahrenheit
it couldbe 0 degrees celcius... meaning 32 degrees Fahrenheit...
but as it gets colder the numbers start to catch up... -40 is the same in both scales? i dont get it.

Think of it this way. One degree Fahrenheit (F) is a smaller temperature unit than one degree Celsius (C), and both scales have an identical temperature value at -40 degrees (-40F = -40C). To illustrate this idea, water freezes at 32F or 0C. Therefore, there are 72 degrees of Fahrenheit between -40F and the freezing point of water, whereas there are only 40 degrees of Celsius between -40C and the freezing points of water.

I made an error in my earlier explanation (now corrected), and added some more detail in my last post. Does it make any better sense now?
its not too bad here now but when I was in Edmonton before Christmas it was -46.1 C, or -58.4 with the windchill (-50.8F, -73.1F) at the airport.....second coldest place on earth next to somewhere in Siberia. So uhh anything else in this thread is damn near tropical!
This is the year 2010 right? Just checking... wasn't sure if I didn't make myself clear on what year it was.

There's F and C because america had to be different and throw out the already useful (and perfectly acceptable) scales for everything.
(metric vs standard, miles vs kilometers, 12 hour clock vs 24 hours clock, the list goes on)
15* here in Brighton, Co tonight. Quite warm out.
They're predicting negatives for wed/thurs but havent made up their mind on what it will actually be yet.
Snow aint bad, its when the snow freezes, or even worse. Melts to slush then freezes.
