Or just use an absolute scale like Kelvin.
30 u/Ryan8905 Feb 15 '16 If you want an absolute scale you'll have to consider Rankine as well. 124 u/[deleted] Feb 15 '16 edited Mar 24 '21 [removed] — view removed comment 17 u/Dave37 Engineering Feb 15 '16 What about the Newton scale? No? 12 u/startibartfast Feb 15 '16 Yes. It's a chilly 1 degree of heat outside today. I can tell because it's winter. 8 u/Dave37 Engineering Feb 15 '16 1 °N. It's a shame he didn't put any references for negative temperatures. But on the other hand, since refrigeration didn't exist and polar expeditions wasn't a trend I guess temperatures below 0 °N wasn't that relevant.
