Megan, I'll assume you're talking about in terms of celsius. ,-,

Seems to be Farenheit to me :p because that's about the same here.. if and when Winter comes, it's usually just down into the 20s here and no lower

20s seems pretty cold to me. It still hasn't gotten that cool here yet. I:
Although this morning it was cold enough that standing probably 25ish feet off the ground -while wearing 2 and 3 layers of clothing- was unpleasant (mostly because of wind). I'm glad I was wearing so many layers, though, having found that tick on my jeans and all. (I found out after mentioning it earlier that it was a female deer tick. yay.)

Yay, Deer Ticks! X)

Geez, I hate it when it gets way windier then usual, right when you get sick. It always seems to go right through you.

/on phone, too lazy to quote

yeah, 20s in fahrenheit...is what i meant. I understand for you non-americans its...probably warm lmao

We use the Celsius system over where I am, 'nuff said.

Celsius? You mean Fahrenheit divided by 9 minus 32?

Yay, lyme disease!

I can't really relate to that, Roc. The last time I was legitimately sick, I hardly could make myself walk through the house, let alone going outside. X}
Although wind doesn't really bother me. It at least makes for neat pictures of water.

Edit:
How...did three people post while I was typing that... .__.

We use Kelvins where I live. :]

I honestly wish all of the world would just use Celsius.

Kelvin and Celsius can be used together, I am using Celsius.

A universal measurement system would be nice indeed, however what would the benefits be? We here in America have been on the Farenheit system (and customary system of units) for so long that people would just be freaking out and they would never get used to it at all.

What? Kelvins? You mean the system used for measuring the temperature of the sun?

On a level of whole numbers, Fahrenheit is more accurate. However, Celsius is more accurate with one decimal than Fahrenheit is with none. I guess it depends on how you look at it. :/

Since i frequently cross the border a lot, I have to get used to celsius because Mexico uses it a lot. And everytime i talk about the weather in my area, they'll think the US is burning like an oven XD

More like finding out absolute zero.

Isn't it called the Metric system? I thought Americans and all their freedom-lovingness would've been disgusted using a system called "Imperial".

Yeah, I know that its called Metric, John :P it's just that I'm sure if the US wanted to be with the rest of the world, then they would have to use Metric.. and from what I've heard, Imperial and Customary units are slightly different from one another, but I forget.

Both Metric and Imperial units are seen in the United States, but Imperial is used more often. Ironic, I know, and I don't know why we still use them. If it's any consolation, scientists in America use metric like everyone else.

All in favor of eliminating the Imperial system altogether say AYE.

I'm not really for eliminating the imperial system per se, but I wish that schools would also do a better job at teaching conversions of imperial to metric, because I know that metric is used in science, and it would definitely help out later on in higher-leveled science classes. In fact, I had a science teacher who was the cook of their household, and they always wrote down temperatures for recipes in celcius.

AYE

I remember the first time I really had to use the metric system was in middle school. It was for a competition in Science Olympiad where you had to estimate various measurements. You had to use the metric system and to be honest, I like the metric system way more than our imperial system. It's so less complicated.
