On the other hand it dilutes the effect of lower values because a lot of them are double digit. 20F, 40F, 60F... all double digit, but wildly varying. On the other hand, with Celsius you get:

  • Below 0: There's ice/snow.
  • 0: Things are freezing/thawing (depending on what the temperature was before.
  • 10s (Spring): T-shirt weather.
  • 10s (Fall): Sweater weather.
  • 20s: Nice in the sun.
  • 30s: Nice in the shade.
  • 40s: THIS IS PUNISHMENT FOR OUR HUBRIS.

I do like 0 as freezing. We should have a new one where 0 is 0C, and 100 is 100F. Or maybe 1000 is 100F so I can get my extra resolution without decimals
