guess how many degrees?

I've got a little weather station from L.L.Bean that I got for Christmas, that sits in my living room on the coffee table. It tells the temperature both inside and outside, although it's always a few degrees warm because the sensor sits close to the house. I've got that set in Fahrenheit, and then I've got some little weather widgets on my desktop because my new computer runs Vista, and those are set in Celsius.

Guess how many degrees it is right now? In Fahrenheit it's -11, but it sounds heaps better in Celsius. In Celsius degrees it is right now in Appleton TWENTY FOUR DEGREES BELOW ZERO!

And in Sydney right now it's 27 above, so today I'm almost as far below freezing as they are above.
