-50C = -58F
Once you get to -40, Celsius and Fahrenheit readings converge.

Didn't know that... Just Google conversion it all the time and assumed that their would be a huge difference. Good to know!
See you learn something everyday.

" It was -20C in my part of Canada last night"
I think there must be some weird micro climate at StevieC's place in Binbrook or his thermometer needs recalibrating.
In Burlington, 40 miles north of Binbrook, It only dropped to -12C.

I got two temp gauges outside the windows, one mercury and one dial type and both were reading -20. Perhaps your weather source is wrong.

Looks like we hit -15C in London, ON last night.
Trust me, it woulda fired up on 10w30, too.
When I was out in Edmonton, the average daily temperature was a high of -26C. I ended up in Fort McMurray, and the high there was -35C.

tomorrow morning it supposed to be -31C! I'm sure my car will start! Man, it must not be good for an engine to start at this weather!
It will be -20 near Toronto tomorrow. -30 with the windchill. brrrrr
I can still remember what it was like trying to fire up an engine at twenty-eight below using conventional motor oil. When it gets that cold synthetic oil is much better.
Thank goodness it does not often get that cold around here. That was back in 1979. Usually where I live it does not get much colder than fifteen or nineteen below at night in the wintertime. But I still like synthetic in the winter.
