I'd take the snow and wind over the rain we're getting. I just know it will freeze before it dries up and everything will have a thin coating of ice

It does seem that the degree Celsius is just a little big for fine distinctions of human-range temperature. Hmm... if we redefined Kelvin and went for the triple point of water being 1000K, that might be interesting. We could use K-1000 for everyday use, call it degrees Kelvin (to distinguish it from scientific Kelvin), which would make the freezing point of water (just about ) 0, and a cool room (c15C) 55 degrees K, a warm room (c.22C) 80 degrees K, and a hot day (c35C) 130 degrees K and boiling water c. 366 degrees K.

I suppose it'll never catch on.

But I still win.

Why not just add a decimal point to Celsius measurements. 21.4C is obviously a rather comfortable temperature.

I win.

I wanted to have the triple point of water be a nice round number rather than the awkward 273.16K
