Catching Ducks

So. Last night during one of my dreams there was this lake. And I was told the temperature of the lake was 109 degrees. I was quite freaked. When I had to traverse it, I was very careful not to get any of the water on me (there were dry spots and trees I used to get across).

However... I saw other people wading through (apparently it was a shallow lake), and they weren't being burned like I expected.

When I woke up this morning I figured it out: To me, 109 means 109 Celsius, but the lake was actually 109 Farenheit. For those of you not familiar with the difference: normal human body temperature is 37 C and 98.6 F, and water boils at 100 C and 212 F. So there's a big difference between 109 C and 109 F!

Now I just need to figure out why the other people in my dream knew that the temperature was in Farenheit when I, the dreamer, did not....

My map looks bigger than it ought to because Canada and Russia are biiiiig countries, and look even bigger on a Mercator projection.
