I noticed that accuweather measures snow differently to rain. Rain is in mm but snow is in cm - that’s mildly infuriating to me.

    Britain

    Main article: English units of measurement

    A digit (lat. digitus, “finger”), when used as a unit of length, is usually a sixteenth of a foot or 3/4" (1.905 cm for the international inch).[6] The width of an adult human male finger tip is indeed about 2 centimetres.

    Full standardization on decidigits it is!
