Apparently Oregon has been in the 50s, so weather isn't an excuse.
50° F = 10° C
50s = 1950 to 1959
My brain went to that first and I was super confused about the '50s cultural reference I was missing for way too long.
That would be '50s.
50s = just under a minute
1950 to 1959 = the olden times
50s = age
Indeed, the PNW is pretty cool right now, I’m hating it
