747Music Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yeah but 0 Celcius is freezing point. So it seems colder than 30 Farenheit. Also 100 Celcius is water's boiling point. It just seems better to me. Maybe just cause I'm used to it, but nevertheless I like Celcius better.

DerWaschbar Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Well we had +5C today, which meant good weather for mapping puddles. The deepest was 10" of course, a deep puddle which all residents should be aware of.
