> Yes. I was trying to be cheeky with the Celcius/Fahrenheit temps. AFAIK, the U.S. is the only place still using Fahrenheit, and other non-metric scalars.

Actually, in the UK they still have all the road signs in miles, can you believe it? We're supposed to be all metric and what with the EU and everything, we really should get round to switching them to km. I mean, even Ireland was road signs in km!!! Its bizarre. Everything else is totally metric, but no, road signs, still miles.

> Thanks, of course, to all that American heat exported via the Gulf Stream.

But is it not part Mexican too? Maybe even Caribbean? I imagine these little Mexican air/water molecules bobbing along, all trying to migrate to Europe. 'Hula l'europa!' Well, whatever, I am rather grateful we have it. Lets hope it doesn't shut down anytime soon....

> You know, North American weather is really the most extreme on Earth.

Yes it does seem very volatile, what with ice storms and tornados and things like that.
