It also can be so cold in the windchill that frostbite is an issue but not very often. It's rare for it to go below -10 here for any length of time.There's also the difference between "it's 0° C and there's no wind, so I can walk around outside with a thick sweater" (extremely unlikely), and "it's 0°, the wind's blowing at 6 Bft, so I'd better put on a coat, scarf, etc."That being said, I'm not sure how useful this "wind chill" value is for that, as opposed to knowing the wind force. We don't actually use such a thing.

Re: What is your weather now? Reply #127 – 2014-02-01, 10:39:03 Wind chill makes some sense in warmer temperatures, where people may be in various states of undress, but it is my argument it doesn't for temperatures below freezing when people are dressed for the occasion. Not many people walk through a blizzard in swimwear.
Re: What is your weather now? Reply #128 – 2014-02-01, 10:46:38 Odd, it's when it's warmer that I'd call it completely irrelevant. But given that it's windy 90% of the time it's pretty irrelevant in winter too, of course. You'd be crazy not to take a scarf along just in case.
Re: What is your weather now? Reply #130 – 2014-02-01, 18:18:30 It was supposed to be a slight DEfreezing, however, as the sun eventually decided to take a rest, and there was a wind, it felt like even colder today...
Re: What is your weather now? Reply #131 – 2014-02-02, 08:35:05 Sunny, mid-twenties.Until May it will be like this, as long as we stay out of the wind.
Re: What is your weather now? Reply #132 – 2014-02-02, 09:23:32 The sun seemingly has got fed up looking at Pootin - and moved on looking at Cameron.Still winter here, though...
Re: What is your weather now? Reply #133 – 2014-02-04, 11:57:27 Cold but dry, even seen the sun for 5 minutes.

Re: What is your weather now? Reply #135 – 2014-02-04, 14:46:54 Just below freezing? That's cool. Just above freezing, less so.
Re: What is your weather now? Reply #138 – 2014-02-05, 15:30:52 Sunny, 33°C, no relevant changes expected this month.
Re: What is your weather now? Reply #139 – 2014-02-05, 16:34:28 Ah, right, you're from the "downunder" too? Do you have winter there occasionally?

Re: What is your weather now? Reply #148 – 2014-02-07, 10:14:05 13° F this morning, more snow on the way. Yes, that's just outside my back door.
