OMG!

I was about to ask if it is degrees F or degrees C, until I realized it does not really matter. Negative 40 degrees F equals -40 degrees C. It is the only place where they are equal.

I looked up the record low for Cleveland, Ohio. I grew up nearby. The lowest temperature ever recorded there was about -29 C, in 1994. Wow! I do not remember it, even though I was in NE Ohio, not far away, at college, when it happened.

The coldest it has ever been where I live now is -22 C. But that was decades before I moved here.

Currently, though, it is only -1 C here.
