Woman at work claiming it'll be below zero Friday morning.
"WTF forecast is for 12?"
"Well, the wind chill is below zero. What's the difference?"
Uh, the difference is reality?

Or I can just say I don't know how wind chill is calculated. Either way, seems like a weird thing to get upset enough about to post about it.wbt5845 said:

First. how are you having conversations about the weather with coworkers before 7 am? In person at the water cooler or video call? I can't envision a circumstance where I would be doing either.

Wind chill temperature is a measure of the combined cooling effect of wind and temperature. As wind increases, heat is carried away from the body at a faster rate, driving down both the skin temperature (which can cause frostbite) and eventually the internal body temperature (which can kill).

We're (Central Missouri) supposed to have winds gusting to 50 mph Thursday/Friday with temperatures of -5F to -10F that night and afternoon temps around 10F both days.
A modest 2"-4" of snow could produce whiteout conditions. I feel like I'm living in the Dakotas!
I currently reside in Northa Dakota, and yes, it's -47 wind chill right now...-20 temp with 19 mph windsdabo man said:

Well yeah, but that's not really the point.Cromagnum said:
If it's 33 and the wind is blowing hard enough to have wind chill in the teens water will never freeze. It will just reach 33 degrees faster.
what does that have to do with anything?Cromagnum said:

Water boils at 201F in my house.Brian Earl Spilner said:
And if water is 211 F, it'll never boil but it'll still be hot as hell to the touch.
What's your point?

As someone who grew up in the Midwest, you pay attention to the wind chill and not the temperature.

My parents used to have a condo in Mt. Crested Butte at 9400'. Water boiled at 194F. Took FOREVER to make pasta.
