CanuckInUSA 0 #5 December 27, 2013 I have never had to endure something as cold as -48C, but I must deal with -30C several times every winter here in Canuckistan and at -30C it begins to hurt. I can only imagine what -48C must be like. Ouch Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zoobrothertom 5 #10 December 27, 2013 I remember skydiving at Ft. Bragg one winter when the ground temp was in the 20's. The army issued us wind chill charts the size of a credit card. After getting the air temp at altitude from the pilots, the wind chill at terminal was off the chart which ended at -140F !!! It was Frigging COLD! ____________________________________ I'm back in the USA!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanuckInUSA 0 #11 December 27, 2013 lawrocket My favorite temp is -40. Because it's the one that is never confusing. -40 in Canada is the same as -40 here in the states. Celsius makes much more sense than Fahrenheit. Celsius is easy to use and understand. Water boils at 100 degrees and it freezes at zero. 212 and 32? Who came up with than nonsense? The metric system is logical what with everything working off of base 10. However as a Canuckistani who's head splits in two when I talk, I do have to say I am still reliant on the Imperial system when it comes to weight. I have no idea how many Kilograms I weigh. Without googling it, I am clueless on the matter. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sfzombie13 314 #12 December 27, 2013 i did a helicopter jump in february once, it was the only time i ever had to wear the whole bearsuit and actually kept it on. if our jm's had been any slower, we would have died on the ground,it was sweltering at about 5 F. the ride to altitude hurt my eyes, the only thing not covered. i can't recall the wind chill temp, but riding with knees in the breeze to 1500 feet sucked._________________________________________ Si hoc legere scis nimium eruditionis habes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Freezing point of pure water = 0C or 32F -40C is 40 Celsius degrees below 0C (or 32F) 40 Celsius degrees = (9/5)*40 = 72F degrees below 0C or 32F = (32 - 72)F = -40F QED This leads to a nice symmetrical conversion: To convert F to C: add 40 multiply by 5/9 subtract 40 To convert C to F: add 40 multiply by 9/5 subtract 40 Example: 100C = ?F 100 + 40 = 140 140*(9/5) = 252 252 - 40 = 212...
