Sat and Sun nights had cases of Frosty Nipples all up and down the central Baja coastline. Last night in Asuncion wasn't bad at all.
Windy as hell now. A police car is traveling up and down the roads warning the people to bring in their small children and animals so they don't blow
away!

No colder than 43 last night. Much above the predicton of 37.
Still 10-15 mph winds, but it's risen to 53F.
It HOWLED last night, stopped and then HOWLED for a period this AM. Seems to be backing off.

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds
of good weather.
Here's a good example. If it hadn't been for that hole in the cloud bank and the rays pointing the way, we would never have found the fishboil.
It's Nice to have Mother Nature looking out for you.

Folks who don't report C or F are cheating.....
-2F here with bright sunshine |
On the Celsius scale water freezes at zero degrees and boils at 100 degrees (100 degrees difference). On the Farenheight scale it freezes at 32
degrees and boils at 210 degrees (180 degress difference).
Since 100 divided by 180 = 0.556 so to convert F temperature to C temperature you just subtract 32 then multiply by .556.
(-2 degrees F -32= -34 x .556 = -18.9 C)
Since 180 divided by 100 = 1.8 you only have to multiply any temperature C by 1.8 then add 32 to get the equivalent F temperature. (-18.9 degrees C x
1.8 = - 34 + 32 = -2 F)
I FORGOT- THIS IS FOR WHEN YOUR NOT NEAR YOUR COMPUTER; OTHERWISE USE THE LINK POMPANO POSTED .

For weather fans.
If you don't already have one on your favorites, here's an easy & quick conversion solution from Celius to Fahrenheit...and vice versa.

I am almost never converting F to C. It's always C to F. Converting Canadians numbers, converting Mexicans numbers to my own antiquated frame of
reference.
But I PREFER using Fahrenheit as it divides temperature into more units within the temp range that humans live in. It allows for less use of fractions
or decimals.
Yeah, it's easy to remember when water boils and freezes in celsius. But we never experience temps for over half of that range.
Just doubling the C number and adding 30 gets you close enough for most purposes.

That's true, close enough.
And, multiplying by 1.8 and then adding 32 is tough without a calculator. (the multiplying, not the adding)
The true conversion is actually 9/5 + 32. Multiply by 9, divide by 5, add 32. Easier in your head if no calculator is around.
