the difference between 70 F (cool for a house) and 72 F (normal)
WTF, my electronic thermometer has less precision than that and you say you can pick up the difference yourself!?
Absolutely. When my classroom is 70 F, my hands get cold as I type. When it's 72, no problem. 74 is significantly warm. Heck, my galileo thermometer has enough precision to measure that.
For sleeping, I tend to go 68 or so--70 is noticeably warm.
Whereas I don't see difference between 15°C and 25°C.

And in my experience, you don't get persistent ice on the streets until the temperature stays well south of 0 C for a while.
Not true. A single night at -2°C and +1°C the following morning is enough to cover streets with invisible layer of ice, making car accidents surge. We call it "gołoledź" over here, Google says it'd be "glazed ice" in English?

We call it "black ice"
Probably because you can't see it on black asphalt

@timebandit you can see it, but it looks the same as "wet".
-
@anotherusername Since I"m in Canada, I know that if it looks wet, it must be frozen
-
@timebandit Not in Vancouver; it's just wet. Always. The word "dry" does not exist in the Vancouverese dialect.
-
@hardwaregeek even in context of laundry?
-
@gąska Why would it? As soon as you walk outside, they'll be wet again.
-
@hardwaregeek So in Vancouver they've never heard of an ? They're very popular in Seattle...

I believe he's talking about humidity
-
@masonwheeler When I moved to the Seattle area, a book I read, titled something like What to Know When You Move to Seattle, said that natives don't use them, because they know that they'll just get wet anyway. I did see more people in Vancouver using umbrellas than I did in Seattle, but the one I took with me got destroyed by the wind, so .

No true Seattleite carries an umbrella and also fuck you.
Umbrellas are for tourists and (spits) Californians.

@blakeyrat I tried 5 times already but I stll read it as "Satellites".

I may be a Californian (again), but during the years I lived near Seattle, I didn't carry an umbrella.

After reading Urban Dictionary, I just have to ask this... @blakeyrat, do you eat dicks?
