TMI, man.
My hobby: finding ambiguous operator precedence in everyday language:
( shorts ) and ( top down ) ==> Hey, it's warm!
( shorts and top ) down ==> TMI, man.

And you just got out of the pool.
You had a high of 81 degrees today?!
Nearest town to me got to 27, supposedly.
And now? One. The last big kahuna before zero.
Good thing my driveway's a skating rink or I'd be coming for some of you guys.
On the other hand you probably have to pay if you want to go ice skating.
We're now down to minus one here. After zero, the only good solution is denial.

On the brightside, the warm weather is welcome by anyone dealing with a cold.
No argument there although I hear having the flu in hot weather's a real bummer.
The advantage with cold weather is that we can always put on more clothes, quilts, blankets, sleeping bags etc for what's called "a three dog night" around here. Out there you have to run the A/C once you get down to your birthday suits...
We're just supposed to get a few flurries in the morning and the high around 20, this says 24. This is going to be the driest winter I have ever seen here in my 53 years.

We had another day of low 80s. Back to the cooler winter weather in a few days. This is not our typical winter. Nighttime temperatures usually hover around the low 30s, this year it's the low 40s. It's a warmer than usual winter accompanied by very few wet days. This translates into a scorching summer. Yay.
Arggh! Why do you all still insist on using Fahrenheit?

I have no frame of reference as a Canuck ex-pat in Europe. But once I convert I see that damn it was cold.
Anyway spent a rather difficult holiday in BC and experienced an ice storm which was lovley to look at but not lovely to drive in - lots of trees also lost branches and there was a large power outage in some Vancouver lower mainland suburbs.

Fahrenheit is actually a better system of measurement for temperature. The scale makes way more sense.
Back to cooler and slightly humid weather.

Quite cheeky.

You could have addressed this as most North Americans find it easier to see a number from 0-100 and be able to comprehend without thinking the severity or lack thereof of that weather forecast. 39* doesn't sound nearly as hot as 104*.
This is all the snow we got today. Although it's going to get to zero for the low tonight, this puny little amount will be gone tomorrow. It's 19 degrees out now and it's already melted off the streets.

Well, I could have but that wouldn't mean anything. Most people globally use celsius, but the range of temperatures makes far more sense using Fahrenheit. We typically measure things on scales 0-10,100, (grades, for example).
Now, keep in mind I am in favor of everybody using the metric system, but that doesn't mean that the measure of temperature in Fahrenheit isn't the best range. You don't measure your grades where 37 (or whatever) means 100 do you? You implicitly do the conversion to the scale of 0-100, even.
