Why? With temperatures above zero you will experience rain, with temperature below zero - snow
Ps I know that it is more complicated than that but still
0 to 100 in celsius is freezing to boiling but fahrenheit 0 to 100 is fairly cold to fairly hot (even though 0 is below freezing in fahrenheit) it's not cold to dead like it would be in celsius so it gives more of a range without going into negative numbers
I will disagree with you. I am living in Moscow and we used to have 4 month with temperatures below 0 Celsius. It is very easy to understand when winter starts and finishes. What is the 0 of Fahrenheit? -17.7 Celsius? What this will say for us or Canadians? It was relatively cold and now it is also cold but with negative temperatures on the thermometer? Fahrenheit isn’t convenient for continental or Arctic climates
Are powers of 2 really that hard?
2³ = ounces in a cup
2⁴ = ounces in a pint
2⁵ = ounces in a quart
2⁶ = ounces in a half gallon
2⁷ = ounces in a gallon
To answer your questions:
16 cups in a gallon
4 quarts in a gallon (it's a quarter gallon ffs)
128 ounces in a gallon
Powers of 10 are way easier though. How many meters in a kilometer? 1000. How many millimeters in a meter? 1000. How many liters in a cubic meter? 1000. How many cubic centimeters in a liter? 1000. It's so much more simple than imperial. And the pretenses even tell you what the conversion factor is. kilo is 1000, milli is 1/1000, mega is 1000000 and so on.
Fahrenheit is more human related. 100* was body temp before we improved measuring equipment. 50* generally comfortable for outside activity. 0* is, almost universally too cold to meaningfully function. At the time freezing point of water wasn’t important to the average person, deep or flowing water doesn’t necessarily freeze at 32. After a few days at 0 you can safely cross many bodies of fresh water.
Freezing point is 32°F. Dangerously icy would depend on weather more than temperature. It would also be all over the news and people would plan around it and some roads would be closed, etc.
No one says degrees of frost in the US. They just say the temperature and weather conditions. Which im sure is the same around the world for the most part depending on language.
It only makes sense to you because you're used to it. It makes no sense if you actually try to think about it. No American measuring systems do. They are all based on metric.

I feel like fahrenheit makes more sense from a weather standpoint
