I never translate to F since it doesn't really do me much good, but I 
can tell you that anything under 20 below O C is definitely bloody 
cold. I used to cross-country ski when I lived in Canada and my 
favourite skiiing weather was about -5 C.  When you are talking about 
-50 and such, you don't let kids stop on their way to school so that 
they don't freeze.

I'm sorry but I don't think that it could be -10 C and raining because 
0 C is the freezing point of water.  There must be something out of 
whack with these temps.

where the temperature is currently 66 F and sunny, and we complain when 
it hits 50 F.
