The heater is broken at my 5th graders school (HISD). Sent him to school dressed like he is hitting the slopes.

Showing your white privilege I see.

I await the next ice day, hopefully this winter, to see what he does, and when he stays open, the backlash he faces.

Some people just want to watch the world ice over.

HISD Superintendent Mike Miles says he shouldn't have closed schools Tuesday. Won't do it again. https://t.co/ClXTn55pVc

Transplants from where? Why is wind chill a bigger deal than actual temps to them?

---

Because morons believe that if it's 33F actual, but a 20F degree windchill, that water will still somehow freeze because the wind is blowing on it harder.

---

Wind can actually cause water to freeze even with air temp above freezing. If the air is dry enough evaporative cooling can lower water temp a few degrees and cause it to freeze.

But your general point stands. The "feels like" temp is not an indicator of this.

Ackchyually all you want, he's correct. It's called thermodynamics of heat transfer.

I know he's correct. His post just perfectly teed up that meme and I don't shy away from taking a swing.

Hey, hey, hey now. We have 2 more nights around freezing later this week before you can say that.

My wife is pissed that I let her plants get killed in the hard freeze. It might help to tell me she wants them brought in before it's already been in the low 20s for more than 12 hours. Geez.
