Wind chill is made up sensationalistic nonsense.

It a supposed calculation of how cold it "feels" to exposed skin.

Feels to whom? Enos the Eskimo is going to feel differently in a cool breeze than Jose from Guatemala.

Neither is going to walk around naked in subzero weather.

My thermometer currently shows -4. That's impressively cold for Denver without the "feels like" hype.

If you think there is no difference between -4? with no wind and -4? with 20 mph wind you are willfully ignorant and foolish.

I'm sitting in Florida. Its predicted to get a chilly 60f as a high. The horror.

Need to borrow a chain saw to cut down some palm trees to burn?

Wind chill is primarily focused on EXPOSED skin. If you have adequate clothing, it's far less relevant. That being said, it's darn cold out there.

That is reserved for the wood burning AC unit.

Maybe in a technical manner. Having spent enough days outside on jobsites in a variety of weather, wind will suck the heat out of whatever you are wearing and make for a miserable day.

I can?t think of anything sarcastic enough to warrant posting so I?ll just go along with how terrible this must be for all of you.

Since I was stationed at Ladd AFB. Fairbanks from Feb 1956 to Nov 1958, I also had a share of really cold temps. I?ll gladly take this stuff heading our way..

Are the locals running around in parkas and beanies?

It is summer there currently.

Sure. I suppose you?ll tell me it?s summer in Australia too and that the earth is round. Heathen.

I know what you guys are talking about, it's absolutely frigid out here, 30 degrees and sunny.

This time of year, I have to be careful not to go on hours long hikes naked right out of the shower!

WHAT.... I'm just trying to fit in
