Below is a reply from Washington Post re their pioneering move to print a
Celsius figure in an American newspaper:-

***********************

Dear Mr. Joy:

Thank you for your letter.  Yes, we did add the Celsius temperature reading
to
our home page earlier this week.  I am glad to see that readers noticed the
change.

Most of the weather information comes to us via Accuweather but it
certainly
seems reasonable to see if Celsius could be added in other areas deeper in
the
weather section.  If you see a change there into the new year, then -
Success!
If not, we will continue to make it known that Celsius readings, especially
given our international readership, would be desirable.

Thank you again for taking the time to send your feedback!


Sincerely,

Michael Golden
