For a temperature below zero, like -4 degrees, do you normally say:

minus four

or

negative four

It was cold yesterday but the coldest day I can ever remember was 19. I can not even imagine getting into the negative numbers. I am freezing when it gets below 40. You can have the snow and all that goes with it. Its snows where I live about every 10 years. Works for me.
