Sum beyatch cold.

Global warming my a....


The weatherman was calling for 20 cm of snow for the next province over
(Newfoundland)
It's been cold & rainy here.... down to 2C tonight and up to 8C tomorrow.


Would you please write in English. Most folks here don't have a
calculator and conversion tables handy to translate.


Don't need 'em - you can do it in your head.

2.54 cm/inch

20 / 2.54 = 7.87401575

Temp

[°F] = [°C] × 9/5 + 32

Or

[°F] = [°C] × 1.8 + 32

You can round 2.54 to 2.5 and 9/5 to 2 and you'll be close enough for
government work.

Espiecally our government. :)
