Ever Wonder by Jacque – Canadian Temperature Conversion Chart
Here in Texas and really in much of the Southern United States, we’ve had a brutal summer with temperatures so high I’m sure that someone has tried to fry eggs on the sidewalk. Someone in Canada came up with a fun little chart about temperatures and their effects on people. So, before it gets cold, keep this handy little chart for reference. All temperatures are in Fahrenheit.
