If I were in a hair-splitting mood, I'd point out that this would imply quoting temperatures in Kelvin (Irish.)
*Worryingly*, I said that on IRC very shortly after the last post ;) However, given that 1K == 1C, and it's just the starting points that are out (by, erm, 273.15 degrees), it's less important. Most calculations involving these things only need the change in temperature after all, and starting from ice, when our bodies are what, 70% water, seems like a good plan for reporting the weather temperature in ;)
