I was brought up on Imperial but use metric for woodworking. ? That all works fine but if someone says that there was 10cm of snow, I struggle to visualise it. ?

I've switched to metric and I encourage everyone I know to do the same. You get 1/25.4" of precision before you need to use decimals/fractions, which is plenty for most woodworking projects.

Plus, it takes less energy to say "31 mil" than "an inch and a quarter" ??
