I might agree with that on the upper end of the F scale. And if I conceed that point, which I am not sure I would, it is only because I live next door to the US and, as such, have been exposed (bombarded?) to the Fahrenheit scale via US weather feeds.
However, on the lower end of the scale, not a chance. 0F means nothing. Yes that is darn cold, but it gets much colder in many places (especially if you factor in windchill). At that point you are getting into negative F, which adds even more to the confusion.
Much easier, imo, to visualize water freezing at 0 (which, practically speaking, means cold enough to snow) and then take it from there.
