Probably not going to happen

At least not very often south of the Canadian border. Air temperature anyway. Wind chill could get there much more frequently in extreme conditions.

Equal to what? I thought it was widely understood that the Fahrenheit scale was the one and only true measure of temperature and that the Celsius merely a runner-up that has gone as far as it has by fudging the obvious fact that water freezes at 32° and boils at 212°. Pretending that those same facts occur at 0° and 100° (significant errors in both cases as may be seen) has attracted many devotees, but surely not in those parts of North America below Latitude 49° N and above the Republic of Mexico.

Agreed Kent.

Metric is a PIT Upper Foot.

But some cannot count past ten, being bereft of further metacarpal or other such extensions.
