Oops [b]DAMN BRACKETS[/b]
-38 C = -36.4 F
MY BAD!

[url]http://students.washington.edu/kyle/temptable.jpg[/url] has a temperature conversion formula table.

and from some other site

To convert a Fahrenheit temperature into Celsius:

Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32)

For example, to convert a Fahrenheit temperature of 98.6 degrees into degrees Celsius first subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature to get 66.6. Then you multiply 66.6 by five-ninths to get 37 degrees Celsius.

To convert a Celsius temperature into degrees Fahrenheit:

Tf = ((9/5)*Tc)+32

Uh no, DoubleFeed, you were right the first time.  -38 degrees C = -36.4 degrees F.  I don't know why that looks wrong to you.  The scales are equivalent at -40 degrees, so that answer makes sense.

Double feed, that looks right to me...

Tf=(9/5)*Tc+32
Tf = Temp in F
Tc = Temp in C = -38

Tf = (9 / 5)* -38 + 32

Tf = -36.4 degF
