My Units

Being an American I firmly believe in using the USCU (United States Customary Units: Fahrenheit, Inches, Feet, etc.)

Note: USCU are not the same as Canadian and British Imperial Units: Fahrenheit, Inches, Feet, etc.) and haven’t been equal in value since 1826. So 1 Canadian/British Inch doesn’t equal 1 American Inch (but they are very close.)

Being an American that lived in Germany and Russia and a Canadian I have learned the Metric System (Celsius, Meters, Kilometers, etc.)

When I post about the Weather I will often include both the USCU and the Metric.

I am not trying to make the United States a Metric Country (the US Federal Government tried that from 1975-1982 and failed as did the Canadian Federal Government in 1985 since Canadians use Metric 50% of the time and Imperial Units the other 50% of the time.)

I only include both Units of Measurement so that my Friends and Family (Metric for the: Canadians, Brits, Latvians, Kazakhs, Russians, Germans, Catalans, Spanish, Ukrainians, etc.. Imperial for Canadians and the Brits and USCU for Americans) can understand.
