Title: Got to Minus 10.1° At 7:30 A.M. Today
Post by: Henry on January 22, 2011, 08:52:54 AM: Beautiful sunny day shining on this clean white snow, but no eaves dripping yet. At 7:30 it was -10.1° and at 8:30 it was -6.8° degrees. We have today, Sunday & Monday, then it should start warming up a bit.

Henry---an interesting trick you might like.
To type the degree symbol (°), hold down the Alt button while typing 0176. When you release the Alt button, the degree symbol (°) magically appears!
Going to be -20° tonight! Bundle up!

Post by: Trekr on January 24, 2011, 02:28:44 PM: Ascii code for the degree sign will work if you use the numeric pad, have numlock selected,hold down alt key, and then do the 0176. Doesn't work if you try to use the numbers above the letters on your keyboard

Glad that cold snap is over.
