    When I’m talking about weather, I don’t necessarily care about the freezing point of water though, I care about the temperatures at which I feel uncomfortable or are in potential danger.

    At the end of the day though, I think it really just comes down to what you grew up with using. I’m comfortable with Fahrenheit because that’s what I grew up with, people who grew up using Celsius are comfortable with that, and there’s nothing wrong with that. It just means there might be a translation step when talking to people of different backgrounds, which is okay.

      For sure, I agree it all comes down to what you’re used to. To answer your point about the freezing point of water, it is pretty important especially if you’re monitoring for ice on the road or preparing your house (pipes, etc.) for it. That’s basically my reference to decide I’m not leaving today and prepping my house instead.
