-3 Fahrenheit is about minus 19.5 Celsius. It was minus 20 here on Friday

Never heard of that one.

I will probably be a pile of ashes. What do I care? I will be dead when
they put me into the furnace.

They can scatter their ashes, flush them, plant them in the garden - I
don't really care. I did mean their ashes - once I die, my body legally
belongs to someone else.
