At about 5:45 this morning, -16 degrees Celsius.  Most of the year this is parkland with grass, seating, restaurants, games and so on.  But in mid-autumn they install a skating rink and a temporary restaurant, and by mid-November erect a holiday shopping village.  In the third photo you see their Christmas tree through the roof of the temporary restaurant.

Hello Stuart,

 

Nice photos all.

 

Bryant Park is decorated a little differently than it was when I went to graduate school across the street.

 

By the way, are you sure that it was -16 Celsius on the 15th of December 2017?

If my math is reasonably close, -16 Celsius is pretty much +3 Fahrenheit.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

Mike - Thank you.

 

Michael - Thank you.  No I'm not certain.  I can do the conversions in my head either way as long as both C & F are positive.  I'm not so sure when subtracting the 32 from the F produces a minus figure for me to multiply by 5/9.

Hello Stuart,

 

40 C = 104 F  Notice: 40 & 04

 

30 C = 86 F

                      Notice that 86 is 68 Backwards

20 C = 68 F

 

10 C = 50 F   Notice that they both have 0

 

Now it gets tricky

 

 0 C = +32 F   This 1 you just have to memorize

 

-10 C = +14 F  This is because if you subtract 18 (The magic number.) from 32 you get 14

 

-20 C = -4 F   There are 2 reasons: Magic 18 from +14 gives you -4 & +14 & -4 both have 4's.

 

-30 C = -22 F  Because of Magic 18. This is where the World begins to get cold.

 

-40 C = -40 F   Easy to remember. A piece of cake. Even colder.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael
