Additional modifiers for extreme cold?

[Rupert]

There is a modifier for more extreme temperatures - on the table (B430) it gives a -1 to HT checks for ever 10 degrees below 0 (Fahrenheit, I assume).

The initial immersion might attract a HT roll for thermal shock, but that shouldn't be ongoing if the victim was merely dowsed in water (but it is a guaranteed loss of 1FP, possibly rather more for average characters).

It's weird for the scale of penalties to go from 35 degrees to 0 degrees and then vary by every 10 degrees.

In temperature, there's little need to convert anything, so it doesn't have any benefit from power of 10 conversion. The difference is pretty much entirely familiarity. You could even make a case that Fahrenheit is better suited to environmental temperatures, where less than 0 or more than 100 are dangerous extremes.
