That's not my comment. I do agree with it though.
Ok, and F is also great for that purpose. When that's an issue, most major roads will be salted. 0F was explicitly the point where brine freezes, so it's actually perfect for knowing when salted roads will freeze. You can probably know when unsalted roads will freeze by the snow/ice around. Both are useful, but you're arbitrarily ignoring the utility of F just to defend C, for some reason. I don't know why people make this part of their personality.
You are really grasping at straws. Next you're going to say they're salting the falling snow in the US so it's perfect for knowing that temp too lmao
I just don't understand the utility over C. It sorta feeling like cold or hot doesn't make all that much sense to me, it's so vague
Exactly. Both C and F are arbitrary, both having some advantage over the other for certain circumstances. Kelvin is the only one you can argue for in a purely absolute sense. People saying C is better for some kind of purity reason are just making things up. C and F have the same basis in the measurement of reality, and they're just slightly better at measuring certain things than the other, but both are perfectly usable interchangeably.
Like I said earlier, the utility of the C's zero point being when it freezes/snows seems a lot more concrete to me than "it goes from cold to hot, kinda"
