“30 below [zero]” expected
someguy3@lemmy.ca 15 hours ago
30 below is expected.
Halosheep@lemm.ee 22 hours ago
0 degrees, clearly.

Funnily enough meteorologists have all sorts of short phrases like that that I find equally confusing, it’s like half broken English but it works

The Celsius temps should not be the addition at the bottom, considering the US is the only place in the world using the archaic and useless Fahrenheit. Celsius should be the norm with an addendum of Fahrenheit.
Yay for American exceptionalism once again. Dumbfucks.
Anders429@programming.dev 20 hours ago
This comment is completely irrational. The fahrenheit temperature is in a screenshot of a text message that was sent in the US. The only temperature in the message you replied to that isn’t in the screenshot is in Celsius. How is that “American exceptionalism”?
roguetrick@lemmy.world 20 hours ago
It really boggles the mind as to what they expected the poster to present. Did they want him to edit the screenshot to say Celsius and then clarify what he edited out?
StopJoiningWars@discuss.online 19 hours ago
Yes. And if your country actually used a sensical measurement you wouldn’t need to do that.
It is about American exceptionalism.

I can’t tell if this is satire. So arrogant and superior, and so, so stupid at the same time.

IT’S GOING TO BE COLD OUTSIDE, BROTHER. MAKE SURE YOU DRESS APPROPRIATELY, THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS BAD WEATHER, JUST BAD CLOTHING.

Except for high wet bulb temperatures. That shit will kill you.

New Englanders say that too! We also respond to others concerned about our wellbeing in the rain: “I’m not made of sugar,” though we have an answer that Germans don’t say: “but you are pretty sweet.”

That’s…. Not that cold? It gets normally down to -32c/f here, and that’s without windchill.

I’d be curious if I could find enough clothes to be able to withstand these temperatures for half an hour. The coldest I’ve ever experienced was −20°C some 15 years ago.
hinterlufer@lemmy.world 23 hours ago
There are research stations in Antarctica where it has like -60°C or lower on a typical day. There’s an interesting post on stackexchange referencing the US Antarctica programme on about what clothing for these conditions should look like.
SchmidtGenetics@lemmy.world 1 day ago
That’s not that cold? Almost any winter gear you buy in Canada will be rated for atleast -30c. It gets that temperature normally without windchill regularly.
In fact, it was just -20c without windchill the last 2 days here.

You might be used to it and prepared for it, but it’s still bloody cold!
v_krishna@lemmy.ml 1 day ago
It is wind chill not actual temperature. Still cold cold cold but not as bad as it sounds in terms of your internal organs freezing or whatever.
bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 1 day ago
I don’t see the point, since I would give up based on the perceived temperature way before any damage from the real temperature would occur.
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
Long sleeves and long underwear/leggings, two pairs of socks, flannel-lined jeans if you have them, sweatpants and jeans on top if not, flannel or similar overshirt, scarf(!), sweater/sweatshirt, winter coat (or 2 additional sweaters/sweatshirts and a raincoat or other large windbreaker), boots, gloves, mittens, and hat.
You won’t die, especially if you move around. I’ve had to take the coat off while shoveling in those temperatures, though my feet and hands were unhappy after a while. Definitely have a cup of hot liquid when you get back inside though.
TachyonTele@lemm.ee 23 hours ago
You get used to it. Humans have an amazing ability to adapt.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 22 hours ago
Correct. Actual is expected to be -23° Farenheit.
someguy3@lemmy.ca 15 hours ago
Easily. They cost a small fortune unfortunately.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 22 hours ago
It isn’t the amount but the quality of the clothes. My wife and I were skiing yesterday at -8°f without issue. So that’s temp plus actual wind chill and windspeed while riding.

Sounds like a perfect time to have a minimum-wage worker bring you food!
crank0271@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Don’t worry, they’re not paid minimum wage. They’re contractors so there’s no such thing. 😊
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 hours ago
Oh phew.
Galapagon@sh.itjust.works 20 hours ago
But because they’re contractors, they’re not required to drive in that weather either.
HK65@sopuli.xyz 20 hours ago
Nobody is required to work. You can also starve.

Homes in this are built for it. The big risk is a power outage, and even then the basement should stay above freezing for at least a day.
