Like I said, people who use Celsius know when to wear a coat.
But if we're maintaining that 0 and 100 are special numbers, then Fahrenheit maps hazardous conditions more neatly to those numbers.
I don't think 0 and 100 have as much special significance as people seem to think when it's assigned to water.
So do people who use Fahrenheit.
I completely disagree. 0 Fahrenheit is very cold, but there's nothing special about that temperature. You need to start dressing for cold conditions long before it gets that cold, and if you dress for cold conditions you can easily handle temperatures well below 0F. 100F is also nothing useful. Yes, it's very hot, but you start needing to take precautions for heat long before it hits 100F.
Basically the Fahrenheit scale has nothing particularly useful at 0 or 100F. The Celsius scale has useful things at 0C and 100C. 100C is not useful for weather, but 0C is very useful for weather because it tells you whether it's likely to be icy out.
