Why are you so hung up on making 0 to 100 scale for freezing to boiling for water? What about other substances? Numbers and scales are all arbitrary. One is not better than others. Why don't you guys solve your economic problems before attempting to solve anything else.Still don't understand why the USA is sill using units of measurements that date back to the times they were colonies in the 17th century.
When I post about the weather, I use both Celsius degrees, and Farenheit for those who got stuck in the past. To me it's a matter of correctness, but apparently the people in the USA are happy to live in the past, and don't care a fig about the rest of the world.
So simple : 0°C is when water freezes, 100°C is when it boils. All temperatures are in the decimal system.
But I understand why so many people in the US are climate-change deniers: how can people who want to get stuck in the 17th century understand what's obvious?
Make temperatures great again!
Have you noticed how most of those really ugly storms get to Chicago and take a hard right? They travel along the Indiana and Ohio-Michigan border and dump on you guys, but leave us nice Michiganians clean and dry. God likes us. What are you people doing down there to deserve that kind of treatment?
Perhaps nature thinks you guys already suffer enough?
Break out the heavy coats! (sarcasm) It is winter here today 34 F and misting.
Well, you really should be using an absolute temperature scale, not the "old-fashioned" Celsius scale (we called it centigrade back in my chemistry curriculum). Let's measure temperature in Kelvins (not degrees Kelvin, that is incorrect). So thermodynamic zero is zero Kelvin. It was about 280 Kelvin here this morning, and we're hoping for 290 Kelvin this afternoon. I boiled some water this morning at about 312 Kelvin.Still don't understand why the USA is sill using units of measurements that date back to the times they were colonies in the 17th century.

We call it centigrade too in my field.
Centigrade is the old name. It has been changed to Celsius, which is now the accepted one, after the name of person who created the metric.
Yeah, I'm aware....just always wondered why certain fields do use the old name instead....?
Touchè
Don't water frozen root balls... it's better to place snow on top of the frozen soil and/or bury the pot in wood chip mulch and water that instead. Trees in soil frozen more for a day or two should be placed out of the sun and wind to reduce the chances of the twigs desiccating.
When was the last time you watered? How long has the soil been frozen? You probably don't need to water more then once or twice a month unless the temperature inside the shed warms up considerably during the day
Check weekly, water when not frozen or place snow on frozen soil when available until spring...
