-40 degree wind chill tomorrow...
Our high here tomorrow is projected to be -13 degrees, with a 23 mph wind.
That translates to a -40 degree wind chill using the new calculation for WC. With the old calc it would be -60 degrees. Either way, it is going to be dangerously cold here tomorrow. Frostbite at these temps can occur within 15 minutes if bare skin is exposed. Here is a calculator to see what your wind chill will be. http://www.onlineconversion.com/windchill.htm PS: This doesn't work for those in the southern regions, so don't try it, or make your comments.

My wife landed in Rockford less than an hour ago. Methinks I'm hanging around here till it warms up a bit. There's a reason I moved here.

Time to dig out the long johns and the insulated coveralls. We hit 10 today with -10 tonight. Wind chills in the -30+ range. At least we warm up after tomorrow. Just in time for my trip to Fargo.

I just watched the news and saw those temps you guys have out there right now. The only thing I can say is stay in the house until it's gone if you can do it. For those that work maybe a couple of sick days.

We were -30F windchill the other day. It will be 51 degrees at 9 AM tomorrow and the following day back down to 9 degrees. This winter can go. I've had enough of it. Ready to get the bike out and ride. Unfortunately that probably won't be possible till the end of March or early April.

Coldest I've ever dealt with was a wind chill of -90 F.. The Bering sea in January aboard an aircraft carrier launching planes. Horribly cold.

Steel breaks more easily at -90 degrees...

-25 degrees here this morning, actual temperature. Cold enough to freeze an Arizona pompous ass, if only we had one!
