It's all about your frame of reference.
Not to go way off on a tangent, but the system is broken?? 0C water freezes, 100C water boils. Simple. You exagerate greatly in saying a handful of degrees is the difference between freezing day and a sweltering day.

Granted each 2 or 3 degrees does make a reasonable difference in temperature - which is a good thing. Of course it comes down to what you are used to.
