Then you look at the temperature and think eh…45 isn’t that bad. We’ll survive. That will be the moment the wind whips up and sleet starts hitting you in the face.
Thats 1.66 °C to 8.88 °C in sensible units.
Good bot
The “sensible” nature of everything besides Kelvin is just opinion.
dungarees science
Celsius is no more “sensible” than Fahrenheit for human comfort.
IMO there is no reason to cling to the idea that feet and yards, Fahrenheit, pounds snd ounces, cups and pints make any sense.….it’s kind of embarrassing as an American. We should have just bit the bullet and switched 40 years ago but we are lazy and have no willpower.
We should start calling them freedom degrees and just own that we are stubborn for no reason.
It’s the tool manufacturers. They love selling you two sets of socket wrench sizes for $$$$.
Down with you Imperial fascist! Long live the Metric!
According to Mike Pence it gets low like that in Indiana because the witches tits make it colder on Halloween, or so mother says…
None the richer.
I have not seen high school girls wearing bras and underwear to be Miley Cyrus in several years…so if the GOP are behind it for moral reasons it may have worked.
Guessing by the downvotes the joke did not land or doesn’t make sense. Not sure why. Mike Pence is a prude and teenage girls coming to the door half naked make me uncomfortable.
Growing up in the Northeast, we got very used to wearing our puffy winter coats over our costumes most years. If you were lucky it was clear and cold, but most years it either snowed or rained.
The secret is to dress as a superhero and buy a costume that’s too big. Put your jacket under the costume and it just looks like muscles.
Thats a good way so assure it will be 82 degrees and 80% humidity 😂
I don’t mind the chill it just seems to come at the last second every year. 70° on the 30th, then 30° on the 31st. Then it will hit 80° again in November… Jack Frost is a bitch.
Same happened in Salem one year. Snowed on the 30th and 70F on the 31st.
I thought that was Celsius for a second lol
70 degrees? How aren’t you boiling alive?
We have special houses in America, with fire resistant walls and overpowered AC and built-in gun safes.
At least it looks like it won’t rain on Halloween, that’s the important part.
It will probably snow, even if the forecast says clear and sunny 😑
It rained more halloweens than not when I was a kid.
Fuck yeah it’s getting cold for Halloween
84 and humid in FL for Halloween, as usual. I miss a nice crisp fall.
“Cold snap” he says, staring at you Wisconsinly.
Don’t plant anything new in the garden. It will die.
I grew up in the Chicago area and my mom would make my costumes. It was always a crapshoot whether it would be freezing or really hot on Halloween. I was often dressed incorrectly.
Good that we don’t do Halloween here.
What a strange comment.
If you think 48F is freezing you try spending time in actual cold weather where its actually below the freezing point of water.
I changed the title to cold snap so you can take down the gate, grandpa. And just for the record, 45° is cold when you are dressed as a princess wearing tights or Spider-Man in a thin suit from Target.
I suppose I shouldn’t be so critical. To me 80 is hot.
Hey, good on you for being pretty cool about things overall. I like that about lemmy, we all seem to ultimately want to understand each-other and get along.
Yeah tell that to the people who keep spewing propaganda without stopping to think. I’ve had to leave a few communities because all of the content was so pessimistic. (This is part of the reason I am now trying to be more friendly online. We don’t need to fight hate with hate)
We get that in Indiana too, but it’s pretty difficult to adjust to a 30 - 40 degree drop in temperature over a short period of time. We get into the negatives (especially in the north where I am), but it’s usually a gradual drop throughout winter.
Never really understood gate-keeping being cold though, kinda weird.
Thanks for your comment…gatekeeping nowadays is old and annoying.
45° F is cold for trick or treating and that’s before wind chil
Yeah I went back and read me comment and it is a little silly. I guess it just depends on where you are. I grew up with bitter cold Halloweens so 48 sounds nice.
They’re in Indiana not Florida
