I'm amused that a _correct_ weather prediction is worthy of comment!
It's the same over here, of course....gives me great pleasure that some
things cannot be predicted with complete accuracy with all the computer
power available.

It's zero Fahrenheit on my colonial hilltop this morning.

Thinks to self, "C is to F-32 as 5 is to 9.

-17.7777777C according to my calculator.

Damn cold, according to my exposed hide.

I can stop worrying about whether the garlic will stay dormant or not,
