We Relented

We set a record low temperature yesterday. It was -3.3C/26F with a windchill of -11C/26F. We hadn't turned the furnace back on, so I found myself wearing a hoodie with a warm sweater over top. And I have worn a hoodie to bed for 3 consecutive nights. At noon our house temperature was down to 15.5C/60F, and we were getting very cold, so we relented and turned the furnace on.

Today should be a little more reasonable, however; it may rise to to 10C/50F but winds will remain ridiculous at 24k/15mph with gusts to 35k/22mph. That's just stupid.

==============

In case you ever need to convert measurements, let Google be your calculator. When I wanted to find the equivalent of -11C, I typed it into the spacebar like this -11C= F, and this is what I got back in less than half a second.



Similarly 6.3lb= kg gives an answer of 2.9kg and so on.

It doesn't have to be metric conversion: 3176lb=1.6tons, while 27oz=1.7lb, and 4floz=.5cups and so on. It's a very handy tool.

==============

Speaking of yesterday, what a difference a day can make. After whinging on yesterdays post over my Sudoku failure, I played a very hard game yesterday morning, and I didn't have a problem with concentration over the half hour that it took me to finish. It did take longer than average, but I was mistake-free and just plodded along until I had it solved.

==============

Meanwhile, the selfies continue, and I am pretty in pink, doncha think?

  1. Wind woke us last night. I thought the roof was lifting off. We had snow too, gone now but the wind continues with the sun this morning. It is too strong to go for a walk.

  2. Yes, after a day of graupel, it was bizarre. Sun would come out and melt it and it'd fall again.
    You two look lovely in pink!!!!

  3. Much too cold! We had snow but it didn't last. A blogger in Vermont had six inches. I'm not sure that pink lace is right for you.

  5. Now that is cold! I'm glad it is beginning to moderate for you. I like the pink but the mascara, not so much. :-)

  6. Very pretty masks! :) That is very cold, and I would turn on the furnace too. (I actually never turn mine off) We are breaking records in the other direction. Close to 90/32 today.
