Out here in the Wild, Arid, High Desert country, it can go from -35F to +104F at various times (no, not in the same hour or day!). Folks will say stuff like, "Yeah, it's fifteen below, but it's a dry cold" or "It's 103, but it's a dry hear."

My butt! It's -15 or it's +103. Either way it's too cold or too hot. Temperature only means something in relation to something else -- the boiling point of lead, when you need a parka, or the temperature at which certain chemicals will melt together to form a propellant for your home-made rocket.
