So, how's Prime Rib doing then? I understand your problem man, freezing pipes is a common problem in sweden, only not so much this year, since it's been unusually mild. I'm guessing that the plumbing in your house is a bit old eh? Or do you just have really, really cold weather?

We need a converter for our different temperatrue systems I think, otherwise it's a bit hard to judge.

0 C is the same as 32 F

Most mercury thermometers have both Centigrade and Fahrenheit scales on them (or is that just peculiar to all the ones I've ever encountered?).

Gah! Gngh! Geh! Ack! Frz!

With just a hint of Kuh!

Well, that explains the causal anomalies, I suppose.

All right then, let's hear what that horrid temeperature was.

Optimus Prime Rib · Post by **Optimus Prime Rib** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 10:01 pm

with wind chill it was about -15

Predabot · Post by **Predabot** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 10:18 pm

Son-of-a-beetch!

That's some freaking temperature! That's like -52 degrees celsius! At that temperature I have been told by my old teacher that your piss freezes before it reaches the ground! Oh my, and here I was thinkin' you yanks were all soft to the cold, but boy, was I wrong.

It's acctualy very unusual to reach such temperatures here in sweden. I remember a few years ago when we had about the -40 and slightly above, and that was quite a...cracking experience.

Minus 50 we really never get, except at our most northern locations, and mostly during night and such.

Last night it was -22 F when I walked to dinner in only my normal clothes and a medium winter jacket. Its cooooold! :-p

Yeah, it's in the 50s here. Nice and not freezing cold.

Actually, -15F is more like -25C.

What with -40F being identical to -40C, by a lucky coincidence*.

-52C is more like -60F, and that is quite cold indeed.

*Or. Is. It?

Hmm...now that Rebis has explained it to me with his school-teacher esque style, you don't seem so tuff anymore.

That's standard temperature here during winter. Altough this winter has been alot milder, with temperatures more like 15-18 at it's coldest. Right now it's only about -5 really.

You foo.

You yanks never heard about winter-hats and gloves and jackets and pants? Or do you all just think it's not 'cool' to wear that? After -20C I don't leave home without some good protection from the cold, it can acctually save your life you know.

Optimus Prime Rib · Post by **Optimus Prime Rib** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 1:20 pm

look at the girlie man wearing protective clothing

Do your pajamas have footies as well?

Just kidding.. Yeah TT you probably should be wearing a littlemore than a windbreaker.. I mean at least put on some pants FFS!

Tired Tracks · Post by **Tired Tracks** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 2:37 pm

Eh its an actual winter jacket, just not the warmest one I've ever owned.
Being a college student with no job, I can't afford said 'winter-hats and gloves and jackets and pants' yet alone the gas to get me to the store and back...

Predabot · Post by **Predabot** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 2:48 pm

What you don't own any old clothing? I don't buy new clothes more than perhaps once per year, all of my winther-clothing is up to a decade old. Second-hand is the only way to go. Don't tell me you trow away perfectly good clothing when you think theyre not "cool"(hehehe, that could be a very stupid joke!) anymore?

Or are you just one of those guys that somehow manages to trash all your clothes sooner or later for some unknown abyssmal reason?

Well, what do I know? Oh, right! I don't have to freeze when I'm outdoors!

Dylan · Post by **Dylan** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 4:29 pm

I sincerely dislike temperatures below 0 degrees Celcius. Eline, how cold was it in Czech Republic that one night? That was horrible.

-15 or so is probably my max. I'd much rather be inside near the fireplace. Or in a warmer country.

I own a grand total of 7 sets of clothes. All my winter gear is too small for me. As I was in florida last winter I had little need for buying and keeping winter supplies closer to my current size. I had a growth spurt last year so all my stuff when to 2nd hand clothing stores!
And yeah, my gloves tend to be trashed/torn/covered in horse manure, that kinda stuff.

Wait, exactly how old are you again?

And was this growth mostly vertically or diagonally?

All is well then.

I'm 20, and it was mostly vertical.

Oh, and diagonally only really happens around 13...

... I never got how expensive shoes were supposed to make someone (women, mostly... so people say) happy.

I'm happy if the shoes I'm wearing cover my feet and are comfy.

We got to -52 C this winter(with wind)! wooo!... Get me the hell outta here.
