I just checked 350-BFW Silver Bay, MN at 1000 CST.  They broadcast AWOS
[Automated Weather Observation Service] and 379-DL Duluth, MN which
broadcasts TWEB [Transcribed Weather Broadcasts].  Both stations give temp
in celcius only.  Both currently at -22 C.  No fahrenheit given.  There are
still many places using AWOS & TWEB.
