I've never understood the "precision" argument. Does it matter whether
it's 70, 71, or 72 F ? I suppose 31, 32, and 33 F are more
significant.

My take is that when you're out in it a couple degrees, or even 1
degree F
can be significant and it seems easier to say "Fifty-One: than
"Ten-point-six".

Or do people who use Celsius just drop the decimal and say "Ten-six"?

They would just say 10. At

the current temperature is -14 and today's high is expected to be -5.
That's for Windsor, which is a short drive from where I am.

Bit of a coincidence Cindy, we live about ten minutes or so from
Windsor...but Windsor, England. About 4 miles from the castle :-)


windsor Ontario is an oddity; you have to drive south from Detroit to
get there.
