First off, that's awesome. I'm jealous. I would love to experience that, assuming I had a good coat.
Second off, I'd usually say secondly or second there, but I've heard enough people say that second off is a grammar peeve of theirs, that I've added to my list of listing idioms in solidarity with the mistake makers. Also, I think it's funny.
Anyway, do you know what negative 40 degrees Celsius is in Fahrenheit? It's negative 40! Our friend Korsak here woke up to the world being the one temperature where the two scales cross paths.
Check it out. Here's the formula for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit. We'll plug in our Celsius, negative 40. Negative 40 times nine fifths or 1.8 is 72. Nope, negative 72. And negative 72 plus 32 is negative 40. And we have our Fahrenheit. Cool, huh? See what I did there?
