Never mind the scale, it's very cold anyway.

lol I live in northern canada and It drops below 40 for about a month each winter. The coldest I've felt was -56 with windchill. -40 isnt fun! I guess you can get used to it but if you dont have really good coats boots, long johns, snowpants and a hat and mitts your toes and ears get cold and numb very fast. I knew a man who moved here from down south and he didnt know what was coming...he lost 5 fingers due to frostbite! I guess it could be fun to experience but living in it kinda bites. And you have to make sure your house is warm.

Have you ever noticed that
11.428571428571428571428571..... Fahrenheit above zero (+11 3/7)
is equal to
11.428571428571428571428571..... Celsius below zero (-11 3/7)?
I have too much time on my hands, I think.

It is the same temperature. The math works out so that the F scale and the C scale are the same at -40. It's like 2 lines with 2 different slopes and y-intercepts, and this is the point where they cross each other.
Either way you look (feel) at it.... it's c c c c cold!

They are both the exact same temperature. Neither one is colder.

they are the same
C to F -> -40 * (9/5) + 32 = (-72) + 32 = -40
F to C -> (-40 - 32) * (5/9) = (-72) * .55555... = -40
