We spent a lot of time with the metric system when I was in grade school, they were sure we were going to switch to metric. I asked my daughters about it and they said they had spent very little time with it and had never heard anything about switching to it. I guess we're farther away from switching.
The temperature difference seems to be the toughest. When we went to NW Ontario fishing the one camp owner said to double the temperature and add 32. I never tried it to see if it was close to accurate.

The one I know by heart is 0C is 30F. That's what I often think when it comes to which engine oil to use and such.

Fixed it
Another flash flood warning this morning, multiple tornado warnings this evening. Weather seems to have calmed down a bit but more heavy rains later this evening.
Possibly hurricane this weekend

Looks like the storm has shifted east a little. Probably 1-2" of rain here (2.5 - 5cm).

Safe travels
@Harry !
Let's see, my guess is that 75f is about 24c

I'm not looking it up.

I hope you have good travels and good weather! Too bad I saw this so late in the day, Iβd have tried to talk you into placing a bet for me while you were waiting for the plane!

Sounds like a good thing that itβs moving East. I hope rain is all you see although 2β is enough.
