it's the perfect weather to reiterate my Celsius Versus Fahrenheit Take: having 0° be the freezing point of water is actually very relevant and practical in everyday life because it lets you easily see whether the precipitation will be rain or snow, which require very different clothing, gear, and planning.

i can bike in heavy snow, not so much in heavy rain. i can bike right after it has heavily rained, but not right after it has heavily snowed. if i'm walking and it's raining i need an umbrella and a more water-resistant coat, but not when it's snowing.

if it's just below freezing black ice can form, which drivers need to look out for.

positive number? liquid. negative number? solid.
