Is 0.0 freezing in Phasmophobia?

Yes, in Phasmophobia, a reading of 0.0°C (or anything below 1.0°C) on electronic thermometers (T2/T3) counts as Freezing Temperatures evidence, though it's often best to wait for a negative number or below 0°C on the Tier 1 thermometer due to its lower accuracy. Ghosts without freezing evidence will never drop below 1°C (33.8°F), so seeing 0.9°C or lower confirms it, while 1.0°C is the lowest a non-freezing ghost will go on upgraded tools.
