Uh... 0C is also real cold. 100C is also real hot.

It's cold enough to be concerned about ice on the road, which is more relevant information than fahrenheit ever provides.

The whole "0 is cold, 100 is hot" argument is just a subjective preference anyway. Having 100 as your "hot" point instead of 38 doesn't provide any actual benefit. It's just a number you're used to.

-10F is cold, +80F is hot.

0C is "maybe it's time to think about switching from summer shoes to winter shoes; there's better grip on my winter shoes and that's getting relevant today"
