Canada-U.S. temperature conversion chart:

In summary, at 50 Fahrenheit (10 C), Californians shiver while Canadians start planting gardens. At 35 Fahrenheit (1.6 C), Italian cars won't start and Canadians drive with the windows down. At 32 Fahrenheit (0 C), American water freezes and Canadian water gets thicker. At 0 Fahrenheit (-17..9 C), New York City landlords finally turn on the heat while Canadians have their last cookout of the season. At -60 Fahrenheit (-51 C), Santa Claus abandons the North Pole and Canadian Girl Guides sell cookies door-to-door. At -109.9 Fahrenheit (-78.5 C), carbon dioxide freezes to make dry ice and Canadians pull down their earflaps. At -173 Fahrenheit

I think the last line should be, The Sabres win the cup, their drought is from the beginning of their franchise, but they are not a Canadian team, but about as close as they can be, dont' you know...

I come from neither the USA nor Canada
When I originally posted this, I had to google the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Stanley Cup
just to find out what sport was being referred to :smile:

Supposed to have Alaskans in there as well. Something about how at -100C, Alaskans close the bathroom window.
 

What is a Canada-U.S. temperature conversion chart?

A Canada-U.S. temperature conversion chart is a tool that allows for easy conversion between temperatures measured in degrees Celsius and degrees Fahrenheit. This is helpful for individuals who may need to convert temperatures between the two units for various reasons, such as traveling between Canada and the U.S. or working with data from both countries.

How do you use a Canada-U.S. temperature conversion chart?

To use a Canada-U.S. temperature conversion chart, simply find the temperature you want to convert on one side of the chart and follow the corresponding row or column to the other side. The number at the intersection of the row and column will be the converted temperature in the other unit.

Why are there different temperature units between Canada and the U.S.?

Canada and the U.S. use different temperature units due to historical reasons. Canada adopted the metric system in the 1970s, which made the Celsius scale the official unit for temperature measurement. The U.S. still uses the Fahrenheit scale, which was developed in the early 1700s by a German physicist.

Do all countries use the same temperature units?

No, not all countries use the same temperature units. While most countries use the Celsius scale as the standard unit for temperature measurement, some still use the Fahrenheit scale, such as the U.S. and Belize. Other countries, such as the Bahamas and Palau, use both Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Is there an easy way to convert temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit without a conversion chart?

Yes, there is a simple formula to convert temperatures between Celsius and Fahrenheit. To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the temperature by 9/5 and add 32. To convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius, subtract 32 from the temperature and multiply by 5/9. However, using a conversion chart can provide a quicker and more accurate conversion.
