Fyi: this is -30,5°C for the rest of the world or 242,59K for the scientists.
-40 is the same in C and F... I know this because I grew up in Wyoming. I've seen -40.
At that temp, you can do this neat little trick where you take a pot of steaming water (not boiling, that's a safety issue) and throw it into the air.
It will be snow before it hits the ground.
Again, don't use boiling water, and don't even try it if the temps are above -10 F. Don't throw the water into the wind, that will just splash it back onto you, and if you ignored the "don't boil" instruction, you'll be splattered with boiling water.
Instructions unclear. Dick stuck in pot. Pls hlpelp.
You're going to need uncooked ramen, some glue, and sandpaper...
One you're below -20. It doesn't really matter which scale you use, it's all really cold.
Well, it matters if you're using kelvin...
If you negative Kelvin it doesn't really matter either.
Negative kelvin exists, and it's incredibly interesting.
That article is a good reminder that my intuition about what temperature is doesn't particularly correspond to reality.
Oh, that's actually really cold
bit nippy
