I never know if these temperatures are in Fahrenheit or Celsius. The USA is pretty much the only nation that still commonly uses the Fahrenheit scale, except in the sciences, medicine, engineering, and all technical professions, where Celsius has been used for many decades. I don't understand why Celsius has not been adopted for common use. Why is that? Celsius makes so much more sense.

@AlaskanBaked Wow! Judging by your screen name, I'm guessing you are in Alaska? I guess if your in a region that is known for being cold, they probably figure your "used to it" or something. I've never been to Alaska, but I've heard that it is pretty darn cold for most of the year. Is this true? What's the warmest it ever gets there? Do you all really have a "summer"?

@dawgsnsuch I'm guessing a very, very large snow storm? I'm not sure -- I wasn't born until 1977, and my parent's didn't move to Chicago until '74....I know there was an extreamely large snowstorm in December of 1979, when I was 2, and the highschool I would later attend didn't close for that....I don't really remember it, but have pictures of myself standng next to snow that is about two or three feet above my head!
In January of 1993, there was a huge snow storm in Chicago. EVERY school in Chicago and surrounding suburbs was closed....EXCEPT for my high school, which has not closed for weather reasons since 1963! Rather than postponing the SAT's, school officials decided that keeping the 'no-closing record' going was more important than student health and safety so we had to go to school.
Long story short, my friend and I were walking home, and it was so cold, his snots were freezing into "snotcycles"!!

@sefosseeu Higher than you think actually. Pretty much any temperature below 0 C or 32 F (below freezing point). Due to thermodynamic laws, when the water is thrown it separates and due to the mass ratio (mass water and mass air) the air draws all of the heat from the water more rapidly than letting it set out. When the temps match (air and water) the water turns to ice/snow. Lower temp. gives better results.
