Using Goolgle To Convert measures

My family and I woke up to snow this morning, lots of it. My five year old was thrilled when she heard that today was a “snow day” – no school! This is her first ever snow day, and she wanted to jump into her snowsuit right away to go outside and play.

I on, on the other hand, was wondering how much snow was going to fall. In the days of my youth, I can remember times when we would get 13 or more inches of snow. (I’m showing my age. Canada converted to the metiric system years ago.)

Therefore, while my step-daughter was dreaming about hoping into her snow suit, I jumped onto my computer and found out that we can expect 20 to 30 centimeters of snow. How does that compare to the days of my youth? Then, I used the Google site to convert centimeters into inches.

Making the conversion is easy. In the search tool, simply type: “30cm in inches”. The answer comes back: 11.8110236 inches. Isn’t Google cool! If you are Canadian, you can use the tool the next time to use an old cookbook and you need to convert imperial measures to the decimal measures used by your measuring equipment.
