Well, if that is true, then there is no logical sense for them to drop SI
after the Olympics are over.  Also, if it works out for them, they can be an
example for the rest of the nation.  If it works here, it will work
everywhere.  And, maybe even gradually drop FFU.  This could save them a lot
of wasted effort, since from their own words they use SI behind the scenes.
No more time wasted converting SI to FFU.

Besides temperatures, are they giving other statistics in SI?  Such as
snowfall in centimetres, snow depth in metres, pressure in hectopascals or
kilopascals? And everything else that is measured; do they give SI info for
that too?

To all:

Sorry for bombarding your email inbox with emails this morning - I was
watching Fox 13's Good Morning Utah just a minute ago, and they read
parts of my email to them on air.  The meteorologist Damon Yauney also
said that they have been receiving "quite a bit of positive feedback for
putting their forecasts in Celsius."  So, they also added the whole
5-day forecasts in �C also.

Cheers,
Nikolay
