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.

    Celsius is no more “sensible” than Fahrenheit for human comfort.

      IMO there is no reason to cling to the idea that feet and yards, Fahrenheit, pounds snd ounces, cups and pints make any sense.….it’s kind of embarrassing as an American. We should have just bit the bullet and switched 40 years ago but we are lazy and have no willpower.

      We should start calling them freedom degrees and just own that we are stubborn for no reason.

        It’s the tool manufacturers. They love selling you two sets of socket wrench sizes for $$$$.
