Then you look at the temperature and think eh…45 isn’t that bad. We’ll survive. That will be the moment the wind whips up and sleet starts hitting you in the face.

    American here too… I’m totally OK with switching to metric as long as we keep Fahrenheit for weather. It just makes so much more sense.

      I’m ok with Fahrenheit but would just make it easier if the whole world used the same, so I’d be cool with switching.

      Celsius is an absolute measurement of a physical phenomenon, and can be tested to check its validity. Fahrenheit is a measurement of what some person a long time ago personally feel like at the time, and it’s not even accurate for most humans.

      How does it make more sense??? They’re both just numbers in a scale, but at least one had a useful couple of data points.
