Doubt it. It fell from the sky as wet snow then froze when the temperature went lower.

Where are you, 2dimes? what part of Canada?

I am in VA, just a bit south of Washington, DC, and we expected temperatures this afternoon near 80 F (26.7 Celsius). I am getting ready to grill outside now.

Yeah, that's what we have in Ontario -- a late fall heatwave. Last week's temperatures hit 25 in places.

Meanwhile, in Vancouver it is snowing, and in Grande Prairie (which if memory serves is close to where 2d lives) they had a multi-vehicle pileup last night cause by a sudden whiteout.

The East and the West are very different.

25 degrees is snowing temperature!

Get your system of measurement right for Christ’s sake.

Standard room temperature is normally given as 20 or 22 or 23 degrees Celsius. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_temperature

If by "get your system of measurement right" you mean I should be using Kelvin, I suppose you have a valid argument to make. However, Kelvin, while perhaps useful in astrophysics, is of limited usefulness on Earth.

25 Celsius, used in Canada, is 77 Fahrenheit (used basically ONLY in the USA). Get it together, jimb.

IT MIGHT snow at 25 degree Fahrenheit. I said:
80 F (26.7 Celsius)


I know the Kelvin scale, too, but, like Duk said, that is not useful, except in the study of gases and astrophysics.

25 C = 298 K (Kelvin), FYI; absolute zero = -459.67 F, -273.15 C = zero Kelvin

He just doesn’t get it Duk.

I’m glad to see someone with a sense of humor.

Yeah maybe DePape will be sent to Ottawa.

Last week I was not wearing a jacket outside.

You are mostly water Jim, you freeze at zero C. Higher than that, most of you remains liquid lower it becomes solid. Currently outside here you can produce snotcicles. The next time it goes up to 25 Fahrenheit it will seem warm.
