Jokes on you. I'm an american who works with scientific equipment so I mainly work in Celsius. Also live in Minnesota so we get the best of both worlds. Last winter hit almost -30C at times meanwhile tomorrow has a high of 39C with almost 70% humidity.

I was going to make the joke that Minnesotan kids definitely know what -40ยฐC is.

I moved up here from Florida to get out of this kind of heat and humidity. Thanks Minnesota. This is miserable.

Minnesota is just lower Manitoba, you get the same insane 80c temperature variance

Lower Manitoba ๐Ÿ˜‚ so that makes Saskatchewan into Northest Dakota and the Okanagan is Upper California?

I love the annual tradition of people posting youtube videos in which someone throws a bucket of water and it instantly turns to snow.

It's going to hit 39 tomorrow? Gotdamn my wallet isn't going to like the upcoming electric bill

Yup. At least in my area. It's not going to be pretty. Hell I'm outside right now and it's over 30C at nearly midnight. I walked out the door and felt like I stepped into a sauna.
