When counted in half steps, B lies between these two notes. It implies that the interval has two half steps. Hence the interval between B flat and C is one whole step, one tone.
Using C harmonic minor as an example, the notes are C D Eb F G Ab B C. The half steps are between D and Eb, G and Ab, and B and C. Going by scale degrees, the half steps are between the 2nd and 3rd, the 5th and 6th, and the 7th and octave.
The half-steps are between the 2nd and 3rd scale degrees, and between the 5th and 6th scale degrees. In the key of A minor, that's between B and C, and E and F.
16° Freezing is normally the freezing point of water which is 0°C. Thus -16° is 16° below zero.
