In my new scale, °X, 0 is Earths' record lowest surface temperature, 50 is the global average, and 100 is the record highest, with a linear scale between each point and adjustment every year as needed.

0°F is a cold winter and 100°F is a hot summer

Makes sense for some specific location. But in general sense 0°F is not cold and 100°F is not hot.

For me 0 F would be civilization ending cold that i have been only seen once.
