That's not just quick, it's totally accurate.

here are the formulas
(Cx1.8)+32=F
(F-32)/1.8=C

-40C = -40F
ie Fucking Cold is Fucking Cold no matter which way you look at it.

Anyone besides me think it's funny that the US is the last country hanging onto the "Imperial" system?

Didn't NASA drop a Mars probe over some bad Metric/Imperial communication?

I think it's time to give it up.

+40 -- roasting hot
+30 -- hit the beach
+20 -- t-shirt weather
+10 -- cool, put on a light jacket
0C ---- freezing point. Turn on the furnace.
-10 -- Perfect outdoor hockey weather
-20 -- Cold, but if you're not a pussy you'll survive
-30 -- Don't go out unless you have to. Put on a parka and long-johns
-40 -- Seriously, don't go out unless you have to.

Again, people... it just doesn't get any simpler than this.

It makes the most sense to have zero as the freezing point. And all this pseudo-logic about the other scales being more details is bullocks. We're talking about a universal system that entire populations can grasp, and in terms of describing the temperature outside to the masses there simply is no better system than the Celsius scale. And over 90% of the world agrees with that, obviously.

The other day I heard a meteorologist say that the temperature dropping from 60F to 54F
was a 10% drop. Ever since I've been on a Kelvin kick.
