<div>When figuring time to more easterly time zones, time is added not subtracted. Thus 5 AM Moscow time (Pacific) is 7 AM Winnipeg time (Central), not 3 AM, as I wrote. Yikes! The temperature chart I referenced does show Winnipeg at about 32 F. at 3 AM, though this time appears to be Eastern Daylight Time, as the chart says, so the 3 AM temperature on the chart is actually 2 AM Winnipeg (moving from eastern time zones to western zones time is subtracted), "Midnight in Moscow" (I love that song! <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Nights" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_Nights</a> ), if I am not making more blunders. Anyway, at 7 or 8 AM in Winnipeg, according to the temperature chart, with temperature in Celsius, it was below 32 F., but only by about 1-2 degrees F., so when I checked the local outdoor thermometer reading 6 F. at 5 AM, the temperature difference in Winnipeg was 24-25 degrees F. warmer, not 26 degrees F., still a rather huge difference given Winnipeg is on average colder than Moscow for this date in October.</div>

<div>If there are any silly blunders in the previous numbers, accept my apologies in advance.</div>

<div><font face="Times New Roman" color="#000080" size="2">Even whispers aren't heard in the garden, <br>Everything has died down till morning. <br>If you only knew how dear to me <br>Are these Moscow nights.<br><br>
The river moves, unmoving, <br>All in silver moonlight. <br>A song is heard, yet unheard, <br>In these silent nights.<br><br>Why do you, dear, look askance, <br>With your head lowered so? <br>It is hard to express, and hard to hold back, <br>
Everything that my heart holds.<br><br>But the dawn's becoming ever brighter. <br>So please, just be good. <br>Don't you, too, forget <br>These summer, Moscow nights.</font></div><br>

<div>While listening to 990 AM CBC Radio One from Winnipeg (off the airwaves, not Internet), Manitoba last night at about 5 AM PDST (3 AM in Winnipeg), they announced the temperature as 0 degrees (32 Fahrenheit), in Celsius, given Canada is in the modern scientific age and officially uses the metric system. I had just checked an outdoor thermometer (near Joel/Cornwall between Moscow and Troy) and the temperature was 6 F. or minus 14.4 C. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>At first I thought I must have heard the radio announcer wrong, given Winnipeg has colder average temperatures for this date in October than Moscow, Idaho. So I checked, and indeed at 3 AM in Winnipeg it was 0 Celsius, 26 degree F. warmer than the outdoor thermometer I checked:</div>
