It could be worse - in Fahrenheit; minus 11 is actually ‘43 below freezing’.

We seem to be using a combination of Celsius (0 degrees freezing) and Fahrenheit (32 degrees freezing) and coming up with stats that are neither one or the other . Very confusing.

Regardless, 40 below, is 40 below (Celsius or Fahrenheit)

-11°F = -29.3°C

-11°C = 12.2°F

When it is -40 degrees it is both...-40 C = -40 F. That is where our ‘windchill’ is right now.
