Here in Calgary and the Rockies it has been a bit cold this week. Down to -29 C at Sunshine overnight. Add wind chill on that and it is ugly. Canada Olympic Park has decided to close for Wednesday and Thursday due to cold weather (or more cynically due to nobody coming due to cold weather).

Hope the cold is not significantly effecting any of you.

'Merica...possibly the last Country in the World to use the Fahrenheit system...and Inches for measuring length.

Honestly, I wish we switched to metric. Imperial is annoying even if you know all the conversions you actually use.

Lets go Kelvin since most thermodynamic, and gas calculations must be done in an absolute temperature plus you will alway realize how worm you really are compared to the depths of space where molecules barely vibrate. :tongue:
