As I remember it from school, wind chill charts did not start
(no official wind chill factor) until it reached freezing with a humidity of 80% and winds at least 10mph.
So how do you get wind chill of 22 degrees if the temperature outside is 39 and it has 7 mph winds.
Is this some other set of non existent figure that Al Gores pseudo-scientists made up to bat
around with their broken hockey stick diagram? or their 2 and a half million more square miles
of arctic shelf that doesn't exist and is melting at an alrming rate.
So what's the deal on the made up wind chill factors reported on the local news programs? I would like to know.
Is it sensationalism to sell you something in a panicked state? I think so,
WoW! Man made global warming, while the globe has been in a chilling mode for the last 11 years.
How inconvenient      AL GORE aka hey it was 35 degrees this morning in South Miami, Florida, 33143

I am shure they did, so it is for a better explanation it is just a number made up and interplation is perty much anyones correct.
I will say it is usefull for the weather forcasters something to roport about, noncense to burn up time
it is 57 degrees  and with the wind chill factor it is: no it is  not!   but feels like????  Honestly it makes as much sense
as anything else this day in time.

When I was in KC last weekend it was 8 degrees with 30 mph gusts= -15 wind chill, which seems about right, as I've been in -20 degrees quite a few times.



BTW, on Monday, Park City, UT (a freaking ski resort that had folks boarding and skiing as I drove by) had higher highs and lows than Orlando!
