Title: Whats the wind chill?
Post by: LazyBkpr on November 17, 2014, 09:14:40 pm: I am always wondering what the wind chill is.. for instance, we have 25 mph winds and it is 5 degrees F outside.. so I looked it up.. with wind chill its -17 degrees right now outside my house..

Here is a little calculator you can use to check the wind chill at your place!

i do have a hand held unit, i just went out and froze my backside off to test it against the calculator............. :D

0 degrees here,
wind at about 12 mph
so -17 or -18 degrees f with the windchill factor. and it feels like it.

The weather up here is usually forecast as the actual temp, and what it feels like (wind chill).

Thank goodness for Global Warming! If it wasn't for that, it'd be really cold. :)
