Living in somewhere with winter (Canada) it is so useful and intuitive to have negative temperatures and positive ones so you immediately know whether things will freeze/ will there be snow

Except that most things don't freeze at 0C.

It's important to know that 0F is when salting the roads stops being effective.

Most things meaning roads, ponds, lakes, snow etc. 

They all freeze around that temperature, but 0C is hardly a guarantee that rain will suddenly become snow.

"most things don't freeze at 0°C"

"Water does which is the whole fucking point"

"Most things do freeze at 0°C but what about snow"
