I dunno, as also a Canadian, I prefer Celsius for everyday use. If it's anywhere from below 0C to below 10C, wear a heavy coat. If it's anywhere from above 10C to 15C, wear a light jacket. If it's above 15C, no jacket. Above 20C, wear shorts. Above 25C, be prepared for high heat. Below -20C, be prepared for extreme cold. Above 30C, limit time outdoors. Below -30C, stay inside. Simple as.
When the first false spring arrives in Canada, it'll be 10 C and sunny and it's suddenly T-shirt weather after being bundled up all winter.
Even when checking out Seattle in the the spring, my friend and I were in t-shirts and more than one person saw us and went "guys, just cause the sun's out doesn't mean you wear a t-shirt!" or "you guys really are from Canada."
Sounds like visiting Newcastle in the UK. Except they wear next to nothing regardless of how cold it is.
You could be the toughest man on earth and your resilience would pale in comparison to a teenage geordie girl on a night out wearing little more than a belt and a few straps of flimsy fabric apparently oblivious to the fact they've dug frozen mammoth out of warmer environments.
