Temperature can be relative!
This week I posted an article on absolute zero, inspired by the unusually wintry weather here in Phoenix. It's getting down into the 30s Fahrenheit at night where I live. I've lived here for so many years that this seems very cold to me. It's even been overcast and soggy. Bleh.
It's such a contrast to my childhood spent rather north of here. I remember one time when I had to walk home from school when it was minus 65 degrees Celsius with a windchill of minus 80 degrees Celsius. The school had to close for the day because it couldn't be properly heated, and my parents couldn't pick me up because it was too cold to start the car. Part of my coat actually froze. I made it home a bit numb, but was fine after a big bowl of soup. Well, that's my "uphill both ways" story!
