US here. I wish we'd switch to metric. It makes so much sense.

The degree of variability describing temps in Celsius makes me cringe.

If we had to stick with imperial to avoid your goofy temps, I'd have a tough decision to make.

I love Celsius for scientific means.

I love Fahrenheit for outdoor temps at a glance. Below 0 and above 100 are the areas where you could die from being outside too long unprepared.

In Celsius it's ... below -17 and above 37... wat

That's kind of arbitrary though, and very dependent on humidity.
