That's 16C. We had a big snow storm about a week, ago. Then, it was warm, but rainy. Now, there is snow, again. Today's snow was quite beautiful, though. The sun came out in the afternoon, but I was busy with non-photographic tasks.
@tdaug80 You got me there! I didn’t know you did. The only time I ever heard the weather here described in Fahrenheit was during the Summer of 1976 when it was almost topping the 100 mark and I guess it made it sound interesting!
@casablanca We're getting off the subject of photography, but in looking up a reference for the English System, I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_customary_units#Units_of_temperature
It is interesting that I'd never heard the term "United States customary units" before. We use the term "metric system" for SI uints (meters, kilograms, etc.) and the "English system" for the units we normally use (feet, pounds, etc.). We realize that England doesn't use the English system any longer (or at least not much. Aren't vehicle speeds in miles per hour?)
The US embarked on a 10-year plan to convert to the metric system back in the 1970s. About the only thing that changed was that Coke comes in a 2-liter bottle, and wine comes in 750 mL bottles. Beer is still in 12 ounce cans and bottles. For that matter, so is Coke. Almost everything else is in "English" units.
