1) The weather is so bab that I can not go out for a walk.
Clear, the weather is bad, I don't go outside.

2) The weather is not so bad that I can not go out for a walk.
Double negative, that makes positive, i.e. 'He does not drink no tea', the meaning is double negative, so the meaning is that he does drink tea.

Cheers!

The weather is bad to a degree that I can not go out for a walk. I will not be able to go out for a walk because the weather is so bad.

2) The weather is not so bad that I can not go out for a walk.

The weather has not reached the degree of being bad at which I will not be able to go out for a walk. Even though the weather is bad, it is not bad enough such that I can not go out for a walk.


I don't think this is too twisted.

You have a nice clarity of thought - that's why. Other mortals may not be so well endowed.
