Its Official Winter is Over

[Scott DeWar]

it is actually 9/5 i think

23*9=207/5=41.4+32=73.4 deg F.
35*9=315/5=63+32=95

although on the southern polar ice cap 32 F would be uncomfortably warm!

 

[Rhun]

Yeah, thats because modern people use .. Celcius :'

Actually, to be truly modern, wouldn't you want to use Kelvin?

 

[Scott DeWar]

who is Kelvin?

 

[El Mahdi]

I think he's that kid with the talking tiger...

 

[ssampier]

who is Kelvin?

His zero (0) is really, really, really cold.

 

[GandalfMithrandir]

s'posed to hit 78 Sunday, and be rainy all day so i can't get out and enjoy it

 

[TanisFrey]

Celcius and Kelvin are related temperature scales. They both have the same size of a degree temperature. IE is takes 1 calorie of heat energy to raise one gram of water by one degree of kelvin or celcius.

The deference between the two scales is where they set their zero mark. Celcius uses the freezing point of water to be zero, while Kelvin uses absolute zero (the temperature where there is no motion within an atom) as zero.

 

[Rhun]

His zero (0) is really, really, really cold.

Indeed!

So I woke up to about 3 or 4 inches of snow at my place this morning. Winter is still hanging on here.

 

[Thunderfoot]

Yeah, thats because modern people use .. Celcius

And yeah in Aus, Its Autumn here now but Im really tempted to call it 'Summer Round 2'

What can you say, we are a nation of non-conformists.
Celcius - bah, metric system - rubbish, 24 hour clock - that's for the military.
Screw you world and your parameters!
