I'm with you, Annastrophic. I want palm trees..........Waaaaaah! It's just a cruel trick of fate that I was born and raised not to mention that I left and came back in Michigan. I, too, am in serious pout mode and it doesn't help that I have a friend who is going to Costa Rica on vacation soon. He just has to rub it in

I don't know what y'all are going on about. We're on the rim of the best month of all, February.

You can do it in your head quite easily:
°C x 9/5 + 32 = °F
°F - 32 x 5/9 = °Cor you could just go here; http://www.crh.noaa.gov/pub/metcon.shtml

Most of the thermometers I have ever owned had both F and C markings. Very handy.
Nade me lazy about conversion.

I think I've posted this before, but a neat way to get ballpark figures is to remember that at two points they are mirror images:
28 C = 82 F
16 C = 61 F
I find it easy to remember because you only need to remember two points for ballpark estimates. Both are also good reference points when you try to "imagine" what they're like - 16C/61F is a bit below comfortable room temperature, and 28C/82F is a pretty warm summer's day where I live.

I'm missing a link
Yes, dear, we know, bless your heart.
They're mirror images only at those two points. They're the same at -40°. At oven temperatures °F is approximately 2X°C. Close enough for baking and roasting. These are just rules of thumb. If you want to be exact at all temperatures use one of the formulas mentioned above.

Take your one degree C, double it and add 30 gives 32 degrees F. Not quite spot on, but close. I dunno, you try to help...

I've always used this, in both directions. Keep trying in your noble effort, d, and maybe you'll end up converting someone someday.[empathetic nod]
