[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8647412, member: 29398"] Unless you believe what the numbers are telling you, not much will until you go outside and see how warm-cold it is for yourself and then maybe go back inside and pick up a sweater or a jacket. It can tell me how much more it's costing me to run that car, which helps inform me whether or not it's time to think about getting a new one. Along with "how does this measurement compare with many other similar measurements of other things in other times and-or places"; and also "how does this measurement help me relate to previous experiences when the same measurement value occurred". For example, if I remember going outside last week when school-net told me it was 13C and feeling damn cold without a jacket, that tells me that when school-net tells me it's 13C again today a jacket is probably a good idea. (and yes it was only 13C here during the day last week and is again today; its been a very cold spring here...) [/QUOTE]
