My reasoning is that the period is a "stronger" punctuation mark than the comma, and it should be used for the more important separation.

    If you want a temperature range that is optimised for indicating the weather, you wouldn't use fahrenheit, you'd come up with something not based on "the freezing temperature of a solution of brine made from a mixture of water, ice, and ammonium chloride"

    Poppycock! Next you'll be saying that it doesn't make sense for 100 degrees to be defined by the body temperature of a horse.
