F v Celsius - Page 1

Jayne described the difference between F and C very well in the Heidi Post

Just for interest how cold does it get where you Guys live, if you are up to it please tell me in Celsius then i do not have to find it out

Over here at 9.30 this morning it is minus 5 celsius,  that is 5C below freezing, and i took a couple of Pic's to show the Frost on the ground which is rock hard, MY hands were frozen after working in the pigeon lofts plus i forgot to throw out the drinking water last night and this morning 10 drinkers were frozen solid and had to be cleaned out which was not good

But we are lucker than some

Looking towards the Pigeon loft you can see the frost in the ground

Steve, I now live in northern middle Tennessee at 36.5 lat/-86.7 long and have lived here twice. Just following statistical data, the coldest days will not arrive until mid-January and will last for about two (2) weeks. For this coldest part of winter the average temperatures are as follows: 8C for the high and -3C for the low. That said, I have seen it as cold as -28C for a short time. Needless to say, the dogs I owned then were inside shivering with us.

It has been (statistically-speaking) a very cold November and December this winter. Two (2) days ago it was 22C but that is an anomoly that sometimes occurs during winters here, and a predictor of nasty weather to follow.

The dogs can fare well in these normal winter temperatures providing they have sufficient shelter. But all of mine live indoors for the most part, and spend a good deal of time inside due to the combination of cold and rain. We recieve very little snow here; an average total of about 20,0cM for a normal winter. I have received none yet.

The state of Tennessee is known for sweltering, humid summers and cold, dreary winters. It is not my favourite place to live but it is the wife's home. But one has to travel north less than 500kM to find some nasty, cold, and snowy weather.

So we have some ice in our water buckets nearly every morning. That is not a problem as the dogs are accustomed to breaking it, removing it from the buckets and playing their version of ice hockey on the rear deck. I do separate dogs before I leave for work so some live outside during the day. For these winter days I usually must pour fresh water into their buckets.

Brrrr!

Hi Bob

Yes, i have cleaned out and put in fresh water for the Dogs three times today as it has frozen over,

Goran breaks it with his Paw but he makes a hell of a mess splashing the water about and of course it freezes in a few minutes

Heidi has again bought out the her bedding into the run, followed by the clock i put in with her when i first bought her home that now will stay out

I do not mind the cold and when i am at the Training Club i only wear a t shirt, pullover and a ball dropper waistcoat, even at night training the Belgian Guys wear a couple of coats and Gloves

 I do put my winter long johns on under my trousers to keep my legs warm

But You and i were made different in our days, I think the youngsters have gone soft

When i was a kid i had to collect a few sticks for Mum to light and keep a fire that is if we had one most winters we never had a fire, we just put on more clothes to keep warm, and so during our life it stayed that way i never wear a lot of clothes any time of the year and never have wore a big coat anytime

Steve

Dear God Steve, I'm not going to marry you now!  Sounds like I'd freeze lol, I like to be warm.  It's been a cold winter for us here in Southern England this year...  so far and I don't like it!

missbeeb

I am truly shocked by your attitude,

you do not need central heating to keep you warm at night that would be my job, and when you wake up you will feel warm all day long

But now i have to turn you down and find another

Steve

LOL LOL, Steve, I asked for that!!!
