Oooops, silly mistake! OK, below freezing point. At least with cold temps you can use a heater to keep temps right.

Actually, upper thirties in the South (US) is 1.5-4 C for the REST of the world. Jeez, when will we learn--I work with an engineer who just can't concieve of the metric system (yeah, he's old) but I use it exclusively at work. So any specs I give him, he converts to avoirdupois, manipulates, gives back to me, and I have to convert back to metric--Can anyone say "Mars Explorer"? (or whatever that crashed one was)

I like working in metrics cause its alot easier to simply slide a decimal over rather than try to divide by 4, 8, 12, 32, or 64 in my head. But I still have trouble associating the "feel" of say 70 F to 21 C....have to reach for the calculator everytime.
