    Americans shaking that 20-25C is more obvious than 68-77

    Above 30 you just complain 25-30 you wear shorts 20-25 you wear whatever 15-20 you wear a t shirt and jeans 10-15 you consider a light jacket or a long sleeve 5-10 you firmly wear the light jacket or long sleeve 0-5 you bring a heavier coat Below 0 you complain

    Beautiful 5 degree increments that perfectly describe what to wear in C Where with Fahrenheit you end up with weird numbers like 86 degrees

      I like that scale, but Ottawa exists: can you give us the various levels of lament from 0 down to -40 or -50?

      And is there a bonus wind scale to add to the suck?

        I tried going pretty general with the first one but my personal is between 0 to -5 I wear a coat -5 to -10 consider gloves -10 to -15 wear gloves -15 to -20 wear heavy gloves -20 to -30 wear glasses and a buff/mask -30 to -40 add glove liners and question why I live in a place that gets this cold Haven’t gone below -40 but I imagine it’s just complaining

      Take your scale and bump it down by 5 degrees C and you have my personal scale.
