We started up just outside of Sudbury and rode to Gowganda. 250 kms with nowhere to stop for fuel/warm up. All the older sleds had to use up their spare fuel and the dummies were running along at 70-80 mph which made the windchill 60-70 below. Three or four ended up with frostbite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is 3rd grade thermal dynamics. We dont need some useless gay made up "feels like" number to tell us this. What if you were riding your sled...at 59mph with a 58mph wind at your back??? Would the gay ass windchill be 1??? Lolz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lolz Isn't that wind chill? Agreed on the numbers part, but that doesn't mean that wind doesn't make you feel colder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes....it is wind chill. Expressing it as a function of "feels like" is my issue. Park a car outside in -10f weather. It matters very little how hard the wind blows. The car will be -10f in short order and that is as cold as it will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f7ben Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 (edited) Do we use "wind warm" in summer months when its 105f out with a 20mph wind? Does it "feel like" 125f out then lol Edited January 26, 2019 by f7ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
