I recall <harp sfx> we did Celcius temps on WJUL in the early 80s but that was
bucking the trend that had already started to abandon any effort.  Dual-temps
were the early 80s rule on WCAP for a _brief_ time, IIRC.  I do remember a day
in November.  The eleventh to be exact.  The time?  Eleven past eleven. The
temp?  Eleven Celcius.  I happened to be in a break on WJUL as a kid and looked
up to see all digital numbers in the station reading the number "1".  <harp sfx
under/out> Figured it a coincidence or that my number was up.
