Just to help you with those degrees:
0°C = 32°F.
20°F is about -7°C, so 20 to 30°F is light freezing.
Our body temperature of 37°C = 98,6 °F, in fact our body temperature is generally closer to 98°F than to 37°C
The boiling point of water (at 1 atm.) is 212°F  = 100°C.
0°F = -18°C (nearly)

Mr Farenheit (of German-Polish-Dutch descent) determined his zero as the freezing point of a brine solution. His scale was developed in the 18th century and has been dabbled with a bit since.
At present only the US and some islands and Liberia use it. The rest of the world uses the scale of Mr Celsius (who was a Swede, btw)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I know Jerry is going to Antarctica this year. I hope he gets to see the spectacular sky extravaganza that is in the video. Wowza! 

Take care in the NZ Summer heat...we got our first snow storm of the winter in western Washington. About 8 inches here. Hovering in the 20&#039;s/low 30&#039;s (F) so not nearly as bad as the mid-west&#039;s arctic vortex.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Thanks, Heather!  Those stars over Antarctica are wonderful!  Too much light pollution here drowns out most of the stars.  I hope I&#039;ll be able to see a sky full of stars before I die.  In the meantime I have this video.]]></description>
