Hello Frank,

it took me a while to find the error, because it is really hidden:

you defined \celcius but used \celsius (s/c). \celsius is a
predefined macro in ConTeXt. Use \celsius{-20} Dewpoint in your case.

The macro \celsius is smart about math mode: see the difference in 

\celsius{-20} Dewpoint \par
$\celsius{-20}$ Dewpoint \par
\celsius{$-20$} Dewpoint

drop your macro or use it ;-)
