The picture on the opening page shows a temperature of -56 degrees and a comment stating that it really doesn't matter if it's C or F. Just a quick calculation shows:

-56 C = -69 F

-56 F = -49 C

Either way, that is bloody cold!

OK, I know I've got way to much time on my hands. Now back to work!
