Snow is created in the air, not ground level. Also, it's better described as "average pressure at sea level", because it fluctuates, especially during storms where this matters.
Knowing when you'll die is pretty damn important. Also, brine is how most roads are prevented from freezing, so it's very useful for that too. They're both arbitrary and situationally useful points. I don't know why you need to pretend like they aren't.
Alright, what? You want to argue having more precision with no extra effort is now bad? If you're using two numbers anyway, why would you not want the extra precision? You're only arguing to defend Celsius, for some weird reason. You can't admit there's any advantage to F that you need to make up stupid excuses for C. You aren't arguing in good faith. Come back when you're willing to.
What a myopic reply. Since you didn't say otherwise I'll assume I was correct regarding your location.
Yes, and where does it go? You are aware there is water on the ground as well, which freezes, which makes a big difference in your day-to-day life.
You'll die of exposure long before your blood freezes but sure
I disagree that both are arbitrary, 0C° is when water freezes at sea level, 100C° is when it boils. I'll grant you that 100 is a bit arbitrary but it's a nice round number. Freezing at 32F° however, that is arbitrary. I don't see how F° is situationally useful in any way compared to C°.
There is no meaningful point in having more precision when the numbers you use are bracketed by nonsense. I don't care that 1F° is "smaller" than 1C° because it would never affect me.
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black haha. I have provided a good reason for using C°, as far as I can tell you don't have anything other than "I'm used to F° therefore its better"
I'm done with this conversation, because you don't want to have one. Please, point to where I said F is better. I never did. I said they both have advantages, but they're both arbitrary to fit certain criteria. If you want an objective system, use Kelvin. Until you're arguing in favor of that, both F and C are fine and both have advantages. People pretending like C is objectively better do not have a firm grasp on what each system does.
Then please point out what advantage F° has. I've yet to see one
