They are in front of the elevators at an outdoor multi story parking garage around my area. That's all I wanted to share, thanks.

Brother I don't think you understand how cold Chicago gets. I was wearing 2 sweaters and a coat and it's still fucking cold as balls

Similar deal in Canada. It's bitter hell waiting for a bus or train in -40c even with as many layers on as you can fit. These heaters are absolutely worth the energy use

That's -40f for those south of the border.

No need to thank me for doing all that math. On a serious note, some actually helpful points are:

0c = 32f (probably the most well known one)

10c = 50f

20c = 68f

30c = 86f

40c = 104f

Aside that, I figure I'll be cooking and therefore using a nice enough thermometer to have both scales. Otherwise things have gone terribly, terribly wrong, and I have much larger problems to worry about than conversions.

Freezing, chilly, nice, hot, 104.

This is worth memorizing.

Thanks! I hope it helps you as much as it's helped me.

For me it reads: Freezing/chilly, nice, warm, hot, he's dead Jim.

I live in Chicago, I'm well aware. I was here when it was below 0F.

Makes it worse that you’re being a dickhead then

Can you explain how hes being a dickhead? Hes being very factual/logical and everyone else is downvoting him to oblivion. Hes just debating the fact that wearing proper clothing avoids the need to burn energy wastfully for a partial solution.
