Metric systems make sense.
That said, I have a bad habit of mixing my units - such as always measuring height in feet and inches, weight in stones and pounds, long distances in miles, speeds in miles per hour, but pretty much any other stuff in metric.
We've had all the snow we're gonna have this year - the temperature is still a little on the chilly side, but that's all wind chill, not actual cold. It's rained a few times in recent days. For England, that was a pretty bitter January and early Feb, but it's slowly warming up nicely.
Next event to look forward to....Easter! Chocolate Eggs! (And my dad's b-day on Easter Sunday...must get him a prezzie) _________________

Awww, you were keeping us silly Americans who go OH GOD THAT DAMN METRIC SYSTEM AAAAARGH and don't understand it in mind.  |
You crazy 'Mericans and your Imperial system.
I also mix units... height in feet/inches, weight in pounds... short distances in feet, but long distances in km. Liquids in liters, etc.
This is perfect weather for me. I get to break out my bitchin' new windbreaker.  _________________
