I had expected it to turn solid and hit the ground with a thud. It turns into ice crystals instead. Interesting.

By a curious coincidence, about -41C is also about -41F.

#8 I noticed that several years ago while on an airplane.
Where else am I going to encounter -41C?
Not outside, that's for sure!

#8 you are wrong, -40c = -40F; -41c = -42F,

#8 Below -40 it's always the same

"This is due to the offset of water's freezing point to 32 °Fahrenheit. Between 32°F and 0°F, the Fahrenheit temperatures are positive while the Celsius temperatures have already moved into the negative. By the point -40°, the larger intervals marked by the Celsius degrees have been "overtaken" by the smaller Fahrenheit intervals. Below this point, negative temperatures in Fahrenheit have larger values than the corresponding Celsius values, just as do all Fahrenheit temperatures above 0°C."

#14 Celsius and Fahrenheit are exactly the same at -40, period (hence the "about" in my comment above - exactly -41C is exactly -41.8F, but about -41C is about -41F). It's only possible for them to be equal at one value, given the difference in the size of the unit.
