Hahah it’s Celsius, Canada loves blending everything, so not surprised they didn’t make their own or just ripped the usda, but I think the usda covers Canada in the maps I was looking at.
Glorious? This thing is disgusting lol. A cultural abomination.
Maybe dependent on the sport? I can only speak for hockey, but I always remember slapshots measured in km/h. Makes sense if imperial is used on US-centric sports tho. Do we really need to add more branches to this chart 😮💨
I fucking hate how we measure long distances in miles, but short ones in metres, but human heights in feet, and buy cooking ingredients in grams but measure them in ounces, and human weights are in fucking stone, and liquids are in litres unless its milk or beer which are in pints, and…
I only found out this year. CBC was talking about it this spring when the US updated theirs and said Canada was working on a new one but it would take longer because it had more variables. Still waiting for the update…
I don’t think being at a lower pressure would mean it rains. The phase change diagram of water shows solid for everything below the freezing point, until you hit gas, so it would just stay in the cloud as water vapor.
I thought hardiness zones were tied to the USDA, but that’s hella cold for freedom units heading into May. Metric precipitation doesn’t help, lol.

How the hell have I never seen this glorious thing before in my life.
One caveat though, sports speeds are usually imperial from what I’ve seen.

Eh?
As a brit, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Canada uses kilometres instead of miles (we use miles / yards here and it’s daft).
Then I reached the company gym and saw everything was in lbs :(

hahaha yep
never a dull moment
I work in Construction, so most stuff is designed to be multi market, so hardly anything is in metric or it’s “specialty”.
Canada has its own zone hardiness map. It takes many more factors into account than the American one does.
Huh til, I guess I never gave its much thought since according to that my place is the same in both hardiness maps!
I always knew there was multiple factors, I didn’t know the us was so simple.

8 degrees Fahrenheit is too cold for rain though isn’t it?
Depends on the pressure I think. At atmospheric pressure, yes.

Pretty sure you wouldn’t be growing anything in a garden in that environment anyway.
You’re right. Thank you, I’ll never make that mistake again.
you better not or we’ll be coming for you
yay.
Got my Lillie’s mulched up atleast though.
