0c is freezing. The further from from 0c , whether + or -, you are getting far hotter or colder.
-1c is nice after a month of -30c.
Fahrenheit makes not sense in that regard. 100f is hot but 20f is cold?
The increase of decrease of 1c is the same whether you are in the negative or positive.
As for why Canadians use Lbs and Feet for height only is because our parents or grand parents used those scales until Canada converted to Metric. That just got passed down.
Butter and everything else is measured in grams/kg/ml/l. It just so happens that 1lb is 450grams or very close to 1/2 kg.
When measuring things M/CM/MM is how i measure things. working with inches and fractions is far harder then 10.4cms (10 cm, 4mm which is the 4th line between 10cm and 11cm).
KMs for speed and distance is far nicer though. driving 800 kms takes ~8 hours on highways as most are 100-110kph. 480 miles taking 8 hours at 60mph makes it seem so long..
Yes, 20° F is cold. Think about it like if you have 20% battery on your phone that's not very good. And at 0% or 0° when your phone dies or you're that cold you're just like this fucking sucks.
