Stupid question #1,457:

Can you really feel the difference between 0 degrees and anything lower than that??

Hun...i think after 0 degrees,,that's when you lose all feeling...below that..its just a statistic...like they said...cold is cold!! [Razz]

Absolutely. Do you notice difference between +80 and +100?

Thats what I thought! Teri always insists that after it gets down around zero, then it all feels the same, and I disagree [Smile]

I'd be inclined to agree with Teri....but then I've never felt 0 degrees, much less below! [Smile]

You can feel it - my usual 1/2hour dog walk - takes on a new meaning when the wind chill gets in
the - teens F. I can usually make it home with
all feeling in fingers and toes. If it's real
cold, the hands start to go about 2/3 through
the walk. Then the face starts to get numb.

It's the wind more than the temps. [Cool]

I was out on the road in a blizard a few years ago out west and the temp was -37 and wind chill I don't remember but you sure can tell that from 0

Posted by SS_CarGuy (Member # 2065) on :

You can DEFINITELY feel the difference. I have experienced a lot of below zero weather and trust me after a -25 a 0 feels almost warm. Another interesting phenomenon that happens at that temperature is your house will emit loud cracking noises (I kid you not). It sounds like things are breaking in the attic. I am not sure what causes this but the first time it happened to me I was VERY concerned. But being outside in -25, everything needs to be covered. I always wore a ski mask and hood along with other thermal garments because you can get frostbite so quickly at those temperatures.......and if the wind is blowing, it's even worse.

Ours is a heatwave in comparison but its headed our way. [Frown]

Naahhh!

Does it matter if you're in water that's 15' deep or water that's 150' deep if you don't know how to swim?!? [Eek!]

Stupid question # 1458:
Who can tell the difference between -40 degrees Farenheit and -40 degrees Celsius? (don't answer this one, Art [Big Grin]

)

Best regardSS,

Elie

It's the point where the two different slopes intersect, they are the same at that point,
-40*C=-40*F

I guess I made that as clear as mud. [Roll Eyes]

It's the only place on the two different temperature scales that they are the same. They change because the *F scale is larger then the *C scale (212*F=100*C)
You might want to brush up on this, there's gonna be a test later on! [Big Grin]

I know, I know............one has an "F" and the other has a "C".

BTW, daytime high was -6C in T.O. today and people were outside without their coats having a smoke. [Eek!]
