MODERATORS
Basing a unit of measure on a purely subjective and variable thing like "it feels hot/cold" is a terrible idea. The metric system specifically tries to avoid that.
Plus, whether it feels hot/cold is going to be equally easy in metric and imperial, since nobody's personal preference falls in the same place. At least with metric, there's an additional point of reference for worrying about ice.
