The formula is the same above or below freezing F°-32(5/9)=C or C(9/5)+32=F°

This whole conversion does not need be mysterious. Consider the basics:
1. In Celsius (centigrade) there are 100 degrees between freezing and boiling of water, with freezing at 0.
2. In Fahrenheit, there are 180 degrees between freezing and boiling of water, with freezing at 32.
So, to convert C into F, multiply by 180/100 and add 32.
That is:
F = C *180/100 + 32 = C * 9/5 + 32
This works for any temperature.

I just double the C temperature and subtract the result from 32 to get the F reading for below 0 temps. It's not 100% accurate, but I'm not a thermometer and it's quick and easy. For above 0 temps, again just use the C temp, double it but this time add the result to 32
