below freezing is not subjective and tells you concrete things about the environment. i don't see the advantage in having "temperate" on a 30 vs 20 degree scale, 1 degree C and 1 degree F are both imperceptible
it's an advantage of having "below zero" actually tell you something, and to tell you something different from "below freezing". it's useful shorthand for "it's fucking freezing out"
