I learned in Farenheight because I grew up in the U.S. But having lived outside the U.S. most of my adult life, I've had to learn to speak in celsius. Unfortunately I only know abstract concepts like, wow, that's really cold, or 30? Dang, it was warm where you went!<BR/><BR/>Here it's been around 22 F/-6 C. Not quite as bitter cold.

It may take 5-10 minutes for the warm air to circulate in the car, but my seat heaters work in about 15 seconds.
