It's nine degrees outside...should I go get groceries?
Or should I let my family eat dryer lint?

6. Is that above zero?
Then a Minnesotan doesn't think it's cold at all.

It was 18° BELOW zero with -35° wind chill when I woke up.

Wuss.

7. 9 degrees? That's perfectly warm enough to be outside.
It's not cold, not in any real sense, until it's below zero.

But then, I grew up in Wisconsin, so my views are a little skewed, I suppose.

11. Fahrenheit or Celsius?
If the former, go for the dryer lint, or perhaps something with slightly more taste and food value such as delivery pizza. :P
