    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
