"The road could be icy" is certainly a useful data point. But "70% of the way from 'wow this is cold' to 'wow this is hot' is a moderately comfortable temperature" seems reasonable to me.
(68 is a comfortable temperature for men wearing suits... a better more general temperature is probably 72.)
- boomboomsubban 6y agoThis all puts way too much stock in temperature being what decides if we go "wow this is cold/hot." Wind, humidity, and other assorted factors play too large of a role to value basing our temperature system on it. Zero F with no wind can feel like a nice day compared to zero C with tons of wind.
