Personally, I like to use Fahrenheit when the temperature is below -40... because -50 sounds much colder than -46. When describing cold above -40, I like to use Celsius for the same reason. When discussing how hot it is, Fahrenheit sounds a lot better. Similarly, expressing penis length in centimeters gets a lot more attention from the ladies than it does with inches.
C easily. A lot of old timers, especially in the country, often quote in F though. I prefer using the former than the latter and if people use F, I don't really bother because I don't have time to do "convert" calculations.
I prefer Celsius since i have grown up with that system and the scale seems to be more logical to me as well.
Another reason for it is- winter is for me synonymous with negative values, so having the freezing point at 0°C quite hits the point here.
With the Fahrenheit scale i would almost never see negative values here since our record low is just below 0°F (-19°C or -2°F).
I do have to say during my time in this forum i became quite familiar with Fahrenheit as well and i can do the calculation easily in my head (unless for larger numbers like -76°F or 128°F).
Celsius for sure but it is only because I am just so used to Celsius. I agree that Fahrenheit is finer and thus has it´s advantages. Converting is not my strongest trait, though.
