   Canada switched from Fahrenheit to Celsius when I was a grade schooler so 
I can do that conversion in my sleep: F = 1.8C + 32. The crossing point 
at -40° is a handy floor value; it rarely falls much below that here in 
balmy Edmonton, 9 degrees south of Yellowknife. My scientific conclusion way 
back then was that when F meets C it's officially F****** Cold.

    regards, Bruce
