Forty-five balmy degrees this morning
Happy to be here. Coldest temperatures in the Chicago area in a generation.

All the temperature readings in Minnesota according to the Weather Channel have -50 or lower wind chills going on.
I do remember going out for a short time in that kind of weather in Minneapolis around November of 1991. Did not stay out very long. |

When it is minus something or another it adds little or no value to know it is more minus with the wind. Similarly for the summer temperatures and the "feel like" temperature..... Keep it simple....the actual temperature is just fine! |
Winter in Florida.

In other words, if something (human body/car engine/etc.) starts out warmer than the ambient temperature, it will lose heat at an accelerated rate in a wind...that is equal to a colder ambient temperature with no wind. Inanimate (or even animate) objects will NEVER get colder than the ambient temperature...regardless if the wind is blowing 100 mph. |

Self-explanatory.

That being it warns folks to dress for a much colder ambient temp...so they can minimize heat loss. Shade/sun doesn't make all that much of a difference (given that there isn't much 'heat' in the sun at this time of the year anyway), but dressing with wind resistant clothing, covering all exposed skin or even staying out of the wind entirely if possible...makes a big difference. I've worked in some seriously extreme cold and one older guy I knew would wear his rain bibs/coat...when the wind was blowing. Yeah, it looked a little silly, but he knew that was the best way to eliminate the wind...from sucking heat from his body. Remember, the chart (which has actually been tweaked over the years) was developed simply to provide a 'rough equivalency'...in regards to heat loss. |

Soon as the wind hit me the -37 windchill made total sense to me. |

When working outside at a relatively balmy 10 below, I would dress a lot differently if it were calm...than if a 25-30mph wind was predicted. |
