Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time with the cold weather but
I have tip for you when you write about it. To make the "°" degree
symbol, hold down the alt key then press 0 1 7 6 and you will see °
magically appear on your screen.


Clarification: You have to have a numerical keypad to do that. Many
laptops and netbooks do not have one and typing it with the top keys
does nothing.

Use Windows "Character Map":

All Programs Accessories System Tools Character Map

Or at Start search , type in Character Map

Sample: for the inverted question mark : ¿

ALT+0191

Cent sign: ¢

ALT+0162

Yen sign: ¥

Alt+0165
