Winter Depression Thread

Ok so @rehmwa posted that -31F is -23.8C, how is -31C not colder than -23.8C?? Am I not asking the question correctly?

I am just as confused as you are now.

You and your broken English.

You and your broken English. :no:

Te lo voy a dar, pendejo!! ;-)

Wow, I just realized how stupid I am.  How come nobody called me out?

Whats with the kid gloves????

@Golfingdad

Thank you.  That's better.

@Ernest Jones please add your two cents ...

Ok, all joking about @colin007 aside, -31°F is colder than -31°C.

°F = 1.8 x (°C) + 32

so, -31°C = -23.8°F

or

°C = (°F - 32) / 1.8

so, -31°F = -35°C

-35°C

Your rule is right here:

If both numbers are the same but less than -40, Celsius is colder. If both numbers are the same but greater than -40, Fahrenheithen is colder.

But you misapplied it to the negative values. -31 is greater than -40, so Fahrenheit is colder.

Sorry, I wanted to post this earlier, but I was cooking and then eating dinner. That's why I said I was confused earlier, because I thought you were wrong and didn't have the time to prove it, which is odd, since I usually trust your math skills more than mine. Guess that's what I get for putting too much faith in an engineer

[Dave2512]

Ha LOL.

[Yukari]

Good grief!

The deep freeze is occurring not just on the outside.

Going back to the topic, I was thinking maybe I can play a round of golf sometime next week, but it does not look like it in CO.

Next time!.

I'm not sure where I misapplied something to the negative values.

If both numbers are the same but less than -40, Celsius is colder.

-100 C = -148 F

-100 F = -73.3 C

In both these instances, -100 is less than -40.  Therefore, since the bigger negative number translates to it being colder, -100 C is colder than -100 F.

Colder	-100 C	-73.3 C	Warmer
	-148 F	-100 F

If both numbers are the same but greater than -40, Fahrenheit is colder.

0 C = 32 F

0 F = -17.8 C

In both these instances, 0 is greater than -40.  Therefore, since the bigger negative number translates to it being colder, 0 F is colder than 0 C.

Colder	-17.8 C	0 C	Warmer
	0 F	32 F

This is a good visual, IMO:

Colder	-100 C	-73.3 C	-40 C	-17.8 C	0 C	Warmer
	-148 F	-100 F	-40 F	0 F	32 F

You didn't, I apologize. I thought you were saying @colin007 was wrong, like @Golfingdad , but you didn't.

[RFKFREAK]

You didn't, I apologize. I thought you were saying @colin007 was wrong, like @Golfingdad, but you didn't.

Oh, haha, no worries, you just confused me (and then had me question my math skills).

[RFKFREAK]

What about Fahrenheit?

Missed this earlier.

Damn autotype!  Haha

The cold weather has affected our brains. ;-)

[RFKFREAK]

The cold weather has affected our brains.

Agreed.

But what's @Golfingdad 's excuse?

[CarlSpackler]

Discussing these temps is making me more depressed. =\

[Golfingdad]

Agreed. But what's @Golfingdad 's excuse? :whistle:

I'm an idiot.

Supposed to snow during my drive in tomorrow. Joy.
