OT: Let\'s gripe about the weather
Got a foot of snow dumped on my house last night. The snow hanging down from the roof is trying to touch the snow rising up from the drifts. 
I know, I know, lot's of people have it worse. But we don't get snow like this very often. We aren't used to it. I don't own a snow blower. I don't even have a very good shovel.
The worst part is after busting my butt shoveling my driveway tomorrow, it's going to melt by Wednesday. Tuesday will be in the 40's and Wednesday in the 50's.
Wahhhhh.

Yeah, there's this annoying thing called 'spring' comming. No more winter.

Re: OT: Let\'s gripe about the weather
Up here, it is hip deep in the yard, and twice that at the side of roads & driveways.
This is the weather that separates the true Canadians from the people who merely live here.

Re: OT: Let\'s gripe about the weather
It snowed all day today...but no accumulation (as always).
And of course it's just cold enough to wilt the daffodils and the cherry blossoms, I guess I won't be getting any peaches or plums this year either 
This is the fourth year in a row that it's warm in Jan/Feb and all the flowers start to come out, then all of a sudden it snows...

I'd love to see -40C in California.

Re: OT: Let\'s gripe about the weather
You apparently flipped the direction too. The correct formula is F = (9/5)*C + 32.

Re: OT: Let\'s gripe about the weather
No, -40C is -40F. It's the temperature where the two scales match.

Re: OT: Let\'s gripe about the weather
Oops, I flipped the fraction... C=(9/5)*F+32, I did C=(5/9)*F+32.
Most of 'em would die from -40 too
