Hadn’t heard that one before!
Technically, it’s water that freezes at 32F. “Freezing” in F is still 0 just like in C.
It just that 0F is the temperature at which brine freezes. The problem there is that an exact composition of brine was never defined. So for the metric world, they chose straight water.

Let’s hope Greta is freezing more than most.

No big deal. Just wear more layers, gloves, and a couple of knit caps. Cover the ears. Face mask would help too. And goggles. And extra socks. And waterproof boots up to the knees. For 5 months.
And, that’s just indoors...

I love my wood burning stove. It is 80 degrees in the room it is in and makes the rest of the rooms quite comfortable.

I experienced a -40 F or C at a mine camp in the Andes on the Argentina side of the border at 4,300 meters elevation. Not a breath of wind...absolutely still.
We had to abandon half the camp in a panic because of fuel gelling which shut down the power supply generators for most of the camp. What a wreck.
Plus, it was in July!!

Maybe we could set off some H-bombs and warm up the Earth a little.

Rivers feeding hydroelectric plants in northern Sweden are freezing over, reducing production of hydro on which Norway depends.
