    The numbers could either be an American complaining about it being too cold or a non-American complaining about it being too hot

    These are the temperatures we should be getting this time of year.
    The warm February and week of 70° weather shouldn’t be something to get excited about. Climate change is forcing spring to come earlier every year and as nice as it feels, it’s very bad for the plants and animals, and a bad sign in general.

      Oh I’m fully aware we’re going to be paying for it.

      Normally, we still have 2-3 feet on the ground; and we get another 2+ feet in march (frequently in one day…)

      Still. Blehk.

      If i can’t grumble about the weather what can I grumble about?

      (and also grumble about 60’s and sunshine- it’s unwholesome. The sunshine gets into people’s brains, their wits dribble out there ears… then they get ran over by a car because they were standing in the middle of the parking lot going “oh this is loverly”,)

      You know it’s stupid to use the imperial system when not even the imperials use the imperial system.

          The us uses the US Customary Units system for normal day to day things, which we basically spackled our name on the more or less cloned Imperial System. “Imperial” is a much smaller mouthful than the actual name so unless you need to be very specific for some reason (like trying to aerobreak over mars….) we tend to just call it “imperial”, inherited from the British Empire.

          The British don’t use it (much) anymore - the only countries I’m aware of that still use the Imperial System is Myanmar and Liberia. (But iirc, they’re planing on switching over and use metric along side. It’s been a while so they’ve probably switched,)

          Scientific or technical things tend to use metric, and the military (or US geological service, that generates maps,) use metric

    Without a context of where this is or the temperature units used, the image is meaningless.

    Where I live the forecast for tomorrow is between 0 and 7 degrees. Is that hot or cold?

    I still remember March 1998 in Toronto. Summer temperatures, mid 20 degree Celsius. It was glorious.

    0° = Water frozen 23° = Comfy Indoor temperature ~36° = Human body temperatur 100° = Water boiling

    I guess you have super hot snow over there. Pretty cool!
