We are just stuck in our ways now. I think we tried to change in the 70s or 80s and people went apeshit.

ahh true, i knew it wasnt linear yet i knew there was a rough difference, none the less fahrenheit is a stupid measurment table, hmm water freezes at 32 degrees instead of 0 cause that'd make sense..... water boils at 212 degrees instead of 100 cause thats reasonable

At least it makes more sense than length.

12 inches in a foot, 3 feet in a yard, 5280 feet in a mile.

Who thinks of these arbitrary numbers?

yeah its fucking hot and rainy here

I'd kill to even see some snow right now. And you'll probably ski the crud this weekend. And you'll love it, because if you don't, you'll feel like an asshole taking such great snow for granted.
This time of year, any snow is good snow, unless your in greenland/AK
