-40C is very close to 0F (-32C) claimed above.

Update: -40F is -40C, oops, my bad, I don’t understand Fahrenheit. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

-40° Celsius is actually equal to -40° Fahrenheit, it's the temperature at which the two meet. 0° Fahrenheit is about -18° Celsius, did you perhaps multiply 0 by 5/9 then subtract 32 instead of the other way around?
