Remember, the Kelvin scale is a measure of absolute temperature, so it is not taken in degrees. So freezing is 273 K and boiling is 373 K, equivalent to 0° C and 100° C, respectively.

If you really want to get PC (like Bill Maher isn't), use Centigrade. It's the same as Celsius but with a different, nondenominational name.

15° C is the perfect temp, Gia.

I like cold weather, I really hate summer...

What? Move to Svalbard! A Norwegian/Russian island 78° North. It's maximum 15° there in summer, and the winter temperature is actually higher than in Northern parts of Norway
Taxes are low, wages high, and in a year or two, everyone living there (at least in the Longyear Town) will get free fiber-optic broadband connections! The major drawback is not having daylight in winter, so I wouldn't survive up there. You get everything back in summer, though

Ah...six months with no sun. Would be nice.

I'm a big night person.

'Course, then six months of daylight would prolly kill me.

I like a good cool climate, not too cold and not too hot. That's partly why I'm going to go to CSU Monterey Bay after I finish junior college the next 2 years. I'd probably like it in Svalbard, except that it's not the United States and the temperatures too low even for me, plus the 6 month intervals of day & night.
