The temperature this morning in Rutland, Vermont, USA.
Brrrrr!
This is my very first attempt at creating ASCII art, email me with your
comments or suggestions
BTW, this is in degrees F. I don't even dare calculate degrees C.

Hi guys, I my humble opinion your thermometer is simply GREAT, but the internet is international and so you should use the metric system - the world outside the USA doesn't use the old-fashioned degrees F anymore. Recalculation is simple: degrees F = degrees C * 1.8 + 32 take care -- Luke
Nice thermometer... It's been cold here in Cleveland as well. Today it
warmed up to low-30s (a heat wave for January!).
Thought you might like some snow for that cold weather:

Not so. Our old stoves are still in F and our best recipes are not metric. Lots of things we own and use are still non-metric including our bodies...and we still have cups of tea and coffee and teaspoons, dessert spoons and tablespoons. We still have fingers of whisky and gin, tots of rum and pints of beer ! Etcetera, Etcetera, Etcetera !

Hi Donald, thanx a lot for your sophisticated C/F thermometer. As a non-resident alien, I can't get used to the weired degree F. take care -- Luke
