In my new scale, °X, 0 is Earths' record lowest surface temperature, 50 is the global average, and 100 is the record highest, with a linear scale between each point and adjustment every year as needed.

Is it going snow instead of rain. Are the roads going to be treacherous. Will my water supply stop flowing.
