That makes sense! Guess it’s 6 in one, half dozen in the other. I was wondering if maybe Fahrenheit was easier to adapt to than Celsius as metric is much easier than standard. Maybe not!

I don't think either one is easier or harder to adapt to - just what you're used to. I was already used to miles/kilometers etc. but the one that still to this day I cannot remember is fluid ounces. Every time I order something and they ask if I want the 12 or the 20 I cannot for the life of me remember how big that is, even after 10 years.

I'm a Celsius person, but a friend of mine has a pretty convincing argument for Fahrenheit, which goes: "Celsius represents how water feels, while Fahrenheit represents how humans feel".

They're probably talking about just the 50 to 100 part of Fahrenheit? Just really doesn't make any sense. Yes - Celsius is entirely based around water at sea level - 0 is freezing, 100 is boiling, but Fahrenheit seems more arbitrary and random - 0 is really damned cold, 32 is freezing, 100 is hot, and boiling is 212. Not sure either one is more "how humans feel" personally. Not that I'm against Fahrenheit, I just don't feel that's a convincing argument at all. |

NW Harris Cty (Houston) forecast. Look at the Mon overnight low! This is especially strange as the extreme cold seems to not be moving eastward as usual. I almost don't believe it.

I'm in Harris County too. Covered a lot of plants and all pipes but I highly doubt it'll help with those temps.

I guess, either keep a bit of water running or shut off water to the house. This is scary for around here.

I'll never forget traveling on business in Jan/Feb 2007 to South Dakota....when I stepped out of my rental car at a small regional airport to walk the 100 ft to the terminal, it was -16F and -32F with the windchill....the cold went right through my jeans and for that nano-second, I thought I forgot to put my pants on....went right through me.

Unpleasant? I give you credit. I'm sure there are many adjectives that better describe those 10 days.

There were some funny moments. The USN guys were from Norfolk so they were a little shocked as were the Royal Navy guys. The folks in the military know how to swear. It was funny, all the military divers were young, in their 20's. I was the youngest guy on our police team at 39.
