"As cold as your mother in law"*

It's -17 degrees Celsius now in Cincinnati.
It was -17 degrees Celsius when we left the university on our way home.
It's also windy. That brings the "feels like" bar to -27 Celsius.

This is the coldest temperature I have ever experienced

Here's a screenshot of two different sources that confirm it, on a Windows 7 desktop.


* The quoted phrase is from one of D's professors.

What does the "Hi: --°" mean?
Something along the lines of: It's so cold there's no hi today?

I love your explanation, but it's much more trivial than that... It means that's already past the hour of hi of that day.
