Hi Mike!

Things are always very odd with that site.

Although all the expected day time highs or night time lows were showing
10000 C for the location I was looking at earlier tonight, if you went down
to the current observations table further down the page, all the info there
was listed in Fahrenheit. I'm pretty comfortable with either scale, because
no matter who I happen to be talking to, conversion comes up more often than
not, and someone has to make it make sense, hi hi. I keep a few direct
conversions in memory, so that if the immediate situation can't applied
directly to one of them, I can have a quck and dirty answer that will
satisfy the other party so that they aren't too lost. Usually, I just say
anything under 20 is cold. If I say that often enough, some might wonder why
I'm still here, but nothing lasts forever. Disadvantageous as cold can be,
at least it means we have fewer annoying critters to trouble us, hi hi.

73,
Dave

The last time I looked at it, about a month ago, all of the 
temperatures were displayed in celsius, and I could not find a way to 
switch them back to fahrenheit.

The temperatures were accurate, but why the sudden change?
