Wind Chill of -52 in North Dakota - Frozen Iguanas fall from Florida trees

The iguanas did not perish, the cold just immobilizes them.:P

Edit: -52 would be -46.67 C for the metric folks.:)

I'm originally from North Dakota. I like to think things like this made me stronger.

so its warmer the farther north you get? its like -4 C in tor.

this weather pattern is actually of much concern to me. Florida is in danger of losing a large portion of it's crops because of freezing and this will have a big impact on the economy. This is a direct result of global warming.

Thats nothing. It was like -30 here in Toronto a few days ago with the wind chill

Wait, what? AFAIK Censlius and Fahrenheit are closer than that in measurement. -52F would be -46C or so. Which is cold.

-52F is -46C, not -11C

God you guys are lucky. Its like 0 celsius here... And were seposed to be some kind of alpinic/temperate climate.

Tho thats not much, ive been in freaking -23 celsius lol...

... oh wait its -46? ok im impressed =D

Wind chill dipped to -150 F (exposed flesh freezes in less than 5 seconds).

-52F is -46C, not -11C

I just wanted to say i think Fahrenheit is dumb.

C all the way baby.

Hey look the internet knows how to calculate F to C.

Thanks, Lockedge.:P I fixed the OP.

I was looking at the "(F-32)" part of the formula, and I reversed the subtraction due to negative numbers. My bad, corrected.:oops:

Thats what gore says..

You can't be serious about the global warming junk. It's colder not warmer. Not to mention the falsified reports about global warming. I think you and all the global warming nuts should be more concerned with the state of the earth's water supply. You do realize there was a point in time when water from streams didn't have to be purified to drink right? I hope you also realize America could stop all pollution and wouldn't effect anything due to other countries like China.

Bummer...and it was a chilly 70 here in LA yesterday.....

I find that hard to believe considering the lowest temperature ever recorded was -128 F in Antarctica.

the term "global warming" is a misnomer (is that the word?). Someone noticed a trend a while ago that temperatures were rising and hastily called it global warming.

the truth is that the warming caused other things to occur, one of the things being colder temperatures we get now.

its one of those terms that just wormed its way in and is now acceptable, even though the literal wording is wrong. Global Warming just means an unnatural climate change due to human intervention; it does not actually mean its getting hotter.

Oh boy, it's going to drop into the 20's. :roll:GettingTired

here in California its like 76 degrees already.

Goodbye, Winter, it was nice seeing you for a whole 5 weeks. See you in 11 months :(

even the nights and mornings are getting warmer...a week ago it was in the 40s (which is cold for us), now its in the 50s

oh my goshhhhhhhhh

that is crazy

US really needs to stop using Fahrenheit. It's not logical to use it on a daily basis for the average person. Celsius has 0 as freezing and 100 as boiling, that way if someone tells you 50 its easy to imagine how hot it is, or if someone say -50 it's easy to imagine how cold it is. Fahrenheit has freezing at 32, and boiling a 212...not exactly the easiest to visualize. Now, I could understand if Fahrenheit were a unit of measurement used exclusively in scientific circles (like Kelvin) due to it being more appropriate for certain measurements. If we used Kelvin in everyday measure measurements, it would be ridiculous. 0 C degrees would be about 273.15 Kelvin. But Kelvin makes sense in scientific circles when dealing with really cold temperatures.

The Same applies with measurements like inches, yards, feet, and miles. They just make things more complicated. The metric system is neatly divided into incremements of 10, which the average human can easily visualize, and it makes going up and down in measurements extremely easy.

I agree, the only thing more baffling than the fact that we still use it, is the fact that we used it in the first place.

metric/celsius is so much easier, and it makes sense.

Hell, it would not even be hard to institute...almost all my science classes in college used the metric system, so all we have to do is change k-12 and it'd be easy.

We've been pretty cold here too. Not as cold as -52, but we will be in the single digits at night for the weekend.

I've been in those temps. Crazy cold. Tossing hot water out of a mug into the air was always fun.duxup

yea I work with a guy from Wisconsin and he says that a lot

I guess you need to experience a harsh winter to truly understand how nice it is here

While I was in the US Air Force, there were many incentives to take a tour of duty for 5 years in Minot, ND. Extreme cold winters and surprisingly hot summers. Very extreme weather in land-locked areas away from the calming oceans.

The running joke was "Why not Minot?". Nobody wanted to go there.

-52 degrees is pretty scary, you can die in the weather within minutes.

I just wanted to say i think Fahrenheit is dumb.

C all the way baby.
