I tried to learn celcius at one time, the bank clock in my last town showed both to try and educate the local cornbillies, the branch manager was stationed in England with the Air Force during the 80's.

@NativePortlander1970 i remember one time we were in scottsdale az. my buddy and i were waiting to tee off. it was 72 out. definitely shorts and t-shirt weather for us canadian boys...the locals all had pants on....we were asked by several people...."you're not from around here are you" 🤣

@beermeplease I still remember my first summer in Nevada, 1994 two hours west of Salt Lake City, Utah, in Wendover, HOLY FUCKING SHIT, 117F? IN THE SHADE? 😶 You might know the area as the Bonneville Salt Flats where they do speed trials and record breakers on the Utah side as Wendover is a state border town.

@NativePortlander1970 the hottest temp i experienced was 110 in palm springs ca. but i loved the evenings when it went to 90....perfect patio beer drinking weather when the sun went down

@beermeplease In Reno 1999/2000 it got to 109F, and in Last Vegas 2005 to 2010 I think one day got to 115F, seeing actual vehicle wheel ruts in asphalt was a bit strange to see.
