LOL , Jim.

Are those temps in Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin?

I'm not sure about Kelvin, but 50C is bleedin' scorching, and 50F is plenty bearable. If Canadians start turning on the heating at that temp there is no hope.

Fahrenheit....didn't want to overdo matters

There was a record low in north Florida today 17 degrees Fahrenheit. It was about 27 where I live this morning.Not too bad really but you'll see some Floridians over react to colder weather.

Ok, let's put it in perspective...

2.75° Kelvin is the average temperature in outer space. Something along the lines of -465° Fahrenheit or just above absolute zero.

The news media keeps jabbering about this cold snap being something that people under 40 have never seen before. That doesn't include me. I've seen polar cold while I lived in Kentucky. So cold in fact, that the Ohio river froze completely from one side to the other.

Driving in a car that never warmed up unless you blocked the radiator with a piece of cardboard. Then it only barely got warm.

If folks here haven't taken precautions, their brass monkeys will need a new pair.

FYI In the UK 'wanker' has a slightly different meaning. It's either abusive slang for a complete prat, as in "you total...", or it is a term for someone who pulls their wanger on a regular basis.
