Canadian Temperature Conversion Chart

Yup.. thats pretty accurate.
had a trip up to the hunt camp for a bit of ice fishing last weekend..had to put the beer next to the stove to keep it drinkable. The thermometer there goes to -80°f
have a photo of my buddy holding a 6-pack over the fire to thaw it out....and he wasnt even posing for the camera.
One thing we did learn though.. it's much warmer to cut a hole in the ice and jump in than it is to roll in the snow after a sauna.
