Saw this recently on a WAN Show (19:12). How true is this? It sounds wild.

@ LonelyWendigo

What? That's a rationalization for your preferred system.

Depts of Winter -35C
Spring/Fall 0C
Heights of Summer +35C

In Fahrenheit that would be:

Winter -31F
Spring/Fall +32F
Summer +95F

Which is completely arbitrary.

Yes, I thought I was very clear that I was explaining my rationalization for why Fahrenheit is my preferred arbitrary system for a specific use case. Fahrenheit is arbitrary and centered around human existence. Celsius is also arbitrary and centered around the phase changes of water. I made no mention of season because again, that is totally arbitrary, not universal, and depends wholly on geography. The only temperature scale that even gets close to trying to not be arbitrary is Kelvin, but I don't see you bullying for it's everyday use.
