They've even talked about dropping the whole wind chill thing here, but I think it gives bragging rights. If someone says it's cold where they are, we can always throw in the "wind chill". Makes us seem a bit tougher. lol.
The wind can blow as hard as it likes, it doesn't make the temp any colder. It might blow the heat off your skin a bit quicker, but as metal doesn't product any heat, it doesn't have any heat to blow off. Makes about as much sense as putting a blanket on your car to keep it warm. Unlike a human, there's no heat being produced to keep in. Ask any doctor, when he pulls a blanket off a dead guy, how warm is he? Wind chill or not, I just got in and it's damn cold, so I'm off to put the kettle on! :-) Ed 300E 2009/1/14 ernest breakfield <erne...@backyardengineering.org> > yeah, i saw that go by, and just giggled,... if people still think that > wind affects the temp of metal the same way it affects exposed flesh, i'm > not currently inclined to discuss it with them. > > 'Wind Chill' still seems like a pretty irrelevant concept, anyway, for > anything except adding more drama to the weather report. i mean, i've > experienced it even in the desert, but why would anyone have flesh exposed > when it's cold enough that Wind Chill would *really* matter? > > > cheers! > e > > > Kaleb C.
