To convert Fahrenheit to Celsius, use the formula $C = \frac{5}{9}(F - 32)$. Plugging in $-22^\circ F$, we get $C = \frac{5}{9}(-22 - 32) = \frac{5}{9}(-54) = -30^\circ C$.

The Weather Outside Is Frightful −22∘F- 22 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }−22∘F

The Weather Outside Is Frightful $- 22 ^ { \circ } \mathrm { F }$
