Wind chill is supposed to indicate temperature on naked skin, and you will not see a lot of skin in a blizzard. It is somewhat relevant if wearing a wind-permeable outer layer of clothing, but no sane person does that either.

Another quick freeze. Ugh.Reminds me too much about Oslo. Wintertime the temperature hovers around freezing, and has a depressing tendency to be just above freezing during daytime and below freezing at night, to ensure a fresh new layer of ice to slip on. Also the city is vaguely bowl-shaped, colder/more snowy towards the rim/hills, so on a walk to or from the centre there will always be at least one thaw/melt zone on the way. For perfection add a thin sprinkling of fresh morning snow to hide any evidence of the surface below. You get in touch with your inner balance artist this way.

Well, to us, windchill is an indication that, even though it might only be X temperature, it's freezing out there on your face, which is always exposed to the weather. 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.

If it is seriously windy, snowy, or cold outside, I would expose no skin to the weather anywhere except for eyes (behind glasses) and probably around mouth/nose to avoid soggy clothing. If for some reason I couldn't I would watch my boots or walk backwards, depending on wind direction.

LOL I really hate ice. Snow I love but ice? Nope. Most of our snow and ice will be gone by tomorrow - heading for a week of above zero temperatures. Ugh. Back to ugly brown winter.
