    What temp is freezing in F? Is it still defined by the temp water freezes at, like in C, or do you guys have a different scale for this too?

      32f is the same as 0c, and they’re both freezing. 0c is the temp at which brine freezes, but nobody really knows/cares about that. Where I live it down to -25f/-31c at least a few times a year, and normally you can expect at least a few weeks to a month below 32f/0c, but the last few years have been mild

        I looked that bit up as it didn’t seem right, you mixed up ‘f’ and ‘c’.

        Water freezes at 0c and brine freezes at 0f.

        That’s a good fact though about 0f being the freeze point of brine, it’s helping me visualise the scale of f a bit better. Thank you!
