Crazy weather...

Damn right it's crazy weather... hasn't rained since yesterday here. This could go down as the dryest spring ever!

71 degrees
What is the unity of this degree?
Because with this number her in France we will deads in 3 hours
And I suppose conversion must be an headache like metric Imperial / decimal
And a true stupidy like this Mars Climate orbiter

Pilou:
71 degrees here is in Fahrenheit scale, where water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees under "Standard Temperature and Pressure". Standard is measured at theoretical sea level. Whereas in Celsius, or centigrade, water freezes at 0, and boils at 100. The conversion formulas can be found somewhere on the internet. 5/9 and 9/5 are the factors used in the formulas.EDIT: 71F is right in your comfort range of 20's C.

Dear Pilou,
The Department of Physics at Oxford University had instruments on both the Mars Climate Orbiter and its predecessor, the Mars Observer.
We also had on an instrument on Beagle II (a wind sensor). As you can see, our department hasn't had much luck with instruments for Mars.

Spring weather has come to the Northwoods of Wisconsin 46° N
Two feet of snow cover has disappeared in the last ten days. There’s very little snow left on the ground.
I don’t trust that our spring is truly upon us. Winter weather is never over this early here.
I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop. It appears to have dropped on Dallas.

Crazy weather sums it up well.
'A storm is coming
Global warming is going to get worse as weather patterns like El Niño and the North Atlantic Oscillation come into sync. Robert Matthews looks at the cataclysmic changes caused by cyclical weather systems'This paragraph in the article has me worried,
%(#0000BF)["We agree that effects like El Nino can temporarily alter the rate of global warming" says Dr Adam Scaife of the Met Office. "But with increasing levels of greenhouse-gas emissions, the rate of warming will increase afterwards."
If these new findings are correct we may thus be living through the calm before a potential climatic storm. No-one yet knows when this period of grace will end, but it seems we may already be a decade into it already. We should not count on staying shielded for much longer.]http://www.bbcfocusmagazine.com/feature/storm-coming
BTW I highly recommend Focus Magazine. It's a monthly that I never miss and I always have one to hand in the bathroom for reading

Hi folks.
To convert between °F and °C here are the formulas:
C = (F - 32) * 5/9
F = (C * 9/5) + 32
71° F = 22°C approximately (21.666666.... exactly).
Too lazy to calculate, use the Google search field with this string "71F to C" (without the quotes).
Just ideas.

Many tanks for all precisions and scientific infos

Package received Pete, we are getting some nice snow right now.

Dang! that's some slow moving weather...
Left us 48 hours ago, you are only 640 miles to the east. Enjoy it.

While it lasted... it is now raining. We got about 90 min. of big snowflakes but nothing stuck. It did flurry overnight some but again, nothing stuck.
