I like my temperature in Ferenhiet for weather.  Everything else I prefer metric.

yeah, me too ...
but only because I grew up with it and no matter how much time I have
spent up in canada in the winter ... I just can't get a 'feel' for it ...
although it makes much more sense to think of water existing as a liquid
from 0 to 100.
the only way I can get out of my own way seems to be by thinking about
the negative values as degrees of frost.
then my 'body' knows.
of course when it's -40 ... who cares if it's F or C? ;)
 
and then there's that pesky british billion! lol

I know when it's -44 degrees outside, the equivelance of F and C is going to be the furthest thing from my mind.

well ... at -40 you don't have to think about it ... -40C is -40F ;)

coldest I've ever seen was -44F ...
stepped out of the dorm at 7am to go to class ...
and noticed my breath freezing in midair and falling on my shoes!
cut that class and went back inside. ;)
