Faranheit only for heatwaves. For blizzards they always use centigrade. Without fail.

- tormeh 12y agoWhy? So the temperatures seem more extreme?
- scottmcf 12y agoPrecisely. A really hot day sounds more impressive when you say 82 Fahrenheit, rather than 28 Celsius. Similarly, you get down into the negative numbers way sooner with Celsius (since freezing is 0, rather than 32). Just makes for better headlines, although almost everyone uses C now.
