Oh, poop! Same brand as mine?

Somebody said we could be getting "crosses" from people's cellphones/garage door openers.
Or my own garage door opener.

Mine will stay off for a few hours and then, presto, up again.
Yet the interior temp never fails.
So it must be the sending unit?

Ive checked to make sure it's not too close to the heater 😆 😆 (didn't meltdown)

Mine aren't working to well either, what a pain! Mine said it was 22f earlier today and trust me it wasn't, my car said it was 38f. Time for a new batch I think.

I'm about to place some low-tech. alcohol thermometers outside, the kind you have to go out with a flashlight and look at in the night.

-7 C / 20 F here right now, forecasting -9 C for monday and tuesday 😥

I here you on the low tech Erik, I was thinking about the same thing myself. I'm sure there much more accurate too.

I only had three. I stuck one in the large Butia shelter. I put a 5-gallon jug of hot tap water in there and snugged the heat tape under the burlap like you suggested, and tried to tie down the whole structure with cord secured to the ground with rebar stakes. I put another under the 20-gallon bucket placed over my two-winters-in-the ground small Butia (my avatar photo) which is spending the night with two hot tap water bottles. I put two old towels over the bucket and up-ended a wheel-barrow over it all so it would not blow away. (The wind is fierce right now!) The third thermometer is in the air in my Gazebo as the "control" in this experiment. I'll let you know what I find.

Coldest so far for here, -3F/-16.1C?

-3f = -19.4C

Here is a useful link if you don't want to have to the quick math of 9/5* 32 or whatever the heck it is...

Snow here at work, snow that turned to rain at home... From what I understand, it was just rain in Niagara... It should stay snow, I HATE the cold rain 👿

I don't do the math.

Simply Google -20 C = ? F and answer pops up.

No wonder today's school kids are dumb. 😆

I cant really memorise the sub zero ones but...

28F = -2C
30F = -1C
32F = 0C
33F = 1C
36F = 2C
37F = 3C
39F = 4C
41F = 5C
43F = 6C
45F = 7C
46F = 8C
48F = 9C
50F = 10C
52F = 11C

I dont know the large minus figures but as far as I know.. 20F = -6C and of course 0F = -18C brrr

Can anyone reccomend a brand for a remote thermometer? I forget what mine was, but I certianly would not reccomend it... If you've had luck, please do share!

the math is easy until I have a neg -0F

(F-32)/1.8 =C

I know what I did wrong now, I need to add the negf to 32 then subtract from zero, then divide by 1.8. 🙄 😆

A quick trick I use to figure the temps is-
Every 5c is 9(F) so I know if it's -5c it's 23(F) and down the line,you can estimate within a degree after that pretty easy
-10c is 14(F)
-15c is 5(F)
-20c is -4(F)
-25c is -13(F)
-30c is -22(F)
-35c is -31(F)
-40c is -40(F) I just took it out that far because I like how -40 is -40

And I I don't have anything better to do 🙄 😉
