On my way back from Toronto, yesterday, the outside temp gauge in my

hard?? G)
well, it's 59, but who's counting?

Metric is great for wrenches and sockets.. I hate fractions..
Oh.. and we set the AC in the bedroom to 30c at night..


Problem is that your body can pretty well detect 1 degree F
differences.
Unfortunately 1 degree C is about 2 degrees F, so unless your
thermostat gives you 1/2 degree C setting increments, it's not hard to
have a significant discomfort factor because you can't tune the
temperature as finely.

For sure.... Unfortunately, metric controls are what we get in
Mexico..

Some nights during the summer, 30 isn't getting the job done and 29 is
a little chilly... I'd really prefer F over C for AC..

I think the thermostat upstairs is in a cold spot, since I had to adjust it
to 59F to get the temp in the bedroom to 22C ...
