I don't care whose right or wrong, the temperature is frickin cold when you're out in it for hours on end. Especially walking with 40 and 50 mph winds blowing right at you. Was out in it for 4 hours yesterday clearing my driveway and making a path around my house. We ended up with almost 30". More than the stoopid weather people predicted with all of their spactaculor equipment. Any fool could look out the window and say, It's snowingggggggg. Today, we're gonna go over to the shop and clear that out. Around these parts, ya have 24 hours to clear your property or get fined. Both our snowblowers are on treads like that, player. Had treads on our equipment for years. Our driveway is about a 35° incline and if ya wanna get back up chains and tires won't cut it. We had a new driveway put in 3 years ago (close to $20,000), so rather than have some cowboy with chains on his tires breaking it up, I got a new snowblower for the house and tretired the old one to the shop. The shop won't take near as long. At home the driveway is about 150' down the hill and the top portion is about 25' × 100'. My plow was under the snow for the most part, yesterday. When I went back to clean off what more had fallen, it was about 5 or 6 more inches. Had a heck of a workout yesterday.

OK, nitwit,
i'll bite,
once again your stuck in bobville, where you thing your uber-intelligence is the end all.
when I look at the weather forecast and it tells me it's going to be 20, with out the wind chill it tells me nothing. I can put a sign up outside if it's 20 with a sweatshirt if there is no wind. if it's 20 with 25 MPH winds, I won't even go outside.
so wind chill is a great way to tell me how cold it REALLY is out...because in the end I could give a rats a$$ what the ambient temp is, as opposed to the real temp my body feels when i'm outside
reality bob, try it some time....

Like bob says, the temperature is just one item of the overall gist of things. The wind chill, however, is what most people determine how they'll dress or if they'll even go outside. The wind chill takes into account the amount of moisture in the air and then also the breeze or wind gusts. Combined, they make up what our core temperature will tolerate.
All I know is....... frickin cold is cold when the wind is blowing. I don't care what you call it, it's just frickin cold.

not sure how things work on planet bob but around here the wind chill is a factor when being outside. no one said it changes the temp, they say when speaking of the wind chill that it makes it "feel" like a lower temp. jsut to test this the next time it is -25 here and they say the wind chill makes it feel like -45, I suggest you drop in dressed for -25 and see how long that works for you

It's better to have two hands than one glove.
"Dressed for -25º?" There in your village you dress for 20º temperature differences? When it gets down to around freezing most folk in these parts simply put on whatever they have. +32º to -32º and beyond, you suit up with your winter tackle. It matters little to nothing what the temperature is beyond 'cold'.
The point, lost as it usually is, being that 'wind chill' is not the temperature. Not the effective temperature. Not the what it feels like temperature. It is, however, a decent discomfort indicator but around here no one needs to be told that the wind is unpleasant and uncomfortable. Regardless of air temperature.

it goes beyond discomfort. there are times when it is +20 which is summer weather around here but "feels" like -20. it decides how long scholl kids can be outside, workers and such. if you don't feel it is a factor life, have at it but for the rest of us, we listen and take care to dress extra warmly for the day. same goes with the heat index. you might not get heat stroke at 80 degrees but if the heat index is high, you can.
