Walking to work this morning, it was 20 degress outside but with the wind chill it was 6 degrees, I walked very fast. So what's the temp where you are?

Oral or rectal?

Air temp. is 30 f. give or take.
Ocean water temp here is 40 which is still pretty warm for these parts.

They are only a degree difference. However, to be sure, you can do rectal first and then oral followed by axillary and tympanic. In that order.

Anybody know the difference between an oral and a rectal thermometer?

"Good" is the worst enemy of "Great".

One is stuck in your mouth and the other ......

On the electronic ones, the red topped one is the rectal and the blue one is the oral. IIRC. Other than that, they are the same.

26 degrees F here in Spanish Fork, Utah. which is only 45 miles south of Salt Lake City, Utah. Very heavy fog, barely see over the hood of my Freightliner.
Sun is coming out now though, so the fog should burn off soon.

The primary difference is the taste.
My Dad (who has spent his share of time in the hospital) always floors the nurses with this one. The other one he uses is when offered the urinal to use in bed, he asks for a piece of electrical wire to tie on his toe and lay on the floor because he can't pee unless he's grounded. Funny guy.
BTW, it was 26 this morning on the way to work and it's high 30's now on the way to a forecast low 50's high.

20*F in the Insurance Capital in the Constitution State. The sun is out so it's not too bad, but the temps are supposed to drop pretty drastically as the week goes on.
