The Winter War... There is an unsuccessful Finnish attack against the positions of the Soviet 122nd Division at Salla. Meanwhile, some 18,000 Soviet troops of the 18th Division have either been killed or captured while encircled north of Lake Ladoga, where they have been trapped since February 19th. Temperatures of -45° C (-82° F) are recorded.

In the North Sea... The destroyer HMS Grenville is sunk by a mine. It is believed that 81 men have died in the incident.

In the United States... Senator Borah, an influential "Isolationist" dies at age 74.

I am playing him in the Domination 2011 tourney... I believe the temperature, I just can't fathom how one can live in such a enivronment that cold...

I think that temperature calculation may be in error.
F= C+32 x 9/5 I don't know exactly how it works out with a (-) number to start though.
Math lesson anyone?

 

[Lighthorse]

You take C number and add 32 to it, then you divide by 5, and lastly multi by 9, you just convened to F from C.

 

[Bert Blitzkrieg]

You take C number and add 32 to it, then you divide by 5, and lastly multi by 9, you just convened to F from C.

So the temperature in F should be (-45C + 32)/5x9= -23,4F? Don't think this is correct either.

32 Fahrenheit equals zero Celsius and 5 degrees Celsius equals 9 degrees Fahrenheit.
So, you take the temperature in Celsius. This must be divided by 5 and multiplied by 9. Then you add 32.
So -45 C = -49F.

Jeeez... and I was just saying it was cold...:tape:
