    I understand you’re being sassy but below zero you do start saying “no but seriously, how can it be this cold?” Zero is about the lower limit before temperature stops being distinguishable and just becomes cold

      The feeling of cold weather is entirely subjective. A Brazilian from Bahia will wear a winter coat and feel cold at 20C, but somebody from northern Canada would be going out for a swim in their shorts.

      Which is why any attempt at using “oh it means cold percentage” or “oh below zero it just feels the same” is extremely dumb and a easily refutable attempt at saving a bad scale.
