Celsius makes most sense in places that experience proper winter.

Is it above 0? Then the snow is melting. Is it below 0? Then the melted snow has turned into slippery ice. Have fun!

I actually really like Fahrenheit for proper winter. You've got the freezing temperature, sure, but that's it's own notable point that exists without a special number. But on those especially cold days, you get to say that it's below 0, and that means something for Fahrenheit.
