Correction: It’s 54 now, which would explain why it feels warmer than 46. ---

Gonna be 60F Tuesday. Still 20 something. Memo to self: Plan torture for Dopers over freezing to keep warm. Something about molten AOL CDs. ---

> [@](#): > > Current: -25C > Windchill: -7C Boy, Celsius tempratures ARE strange 😉 It’s -8 at 1:00 in Minneapolis. If there were any snow on the ground it would be about 10 degrees colder as sunlight would reflect into space. Even that would be nowhere near a record low though (which is around -35). We’ve had five warm winters in a row here. People are losing their perspective I think. ---

I’m a former Buffalo Gal (eighteen years in The Queen City), so forgive me if I gloat a little bit: It’s over 50 degrees here in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains, breezy as usual, and sunny blue skies with wispy high clouds. Tonight should get down into the 20’s and we will light a fire and fall asleep to the soothing, crackling sounds, as we usually do. What a climate! Just wish we’d get some rain, darnit. ---

Question for you wintery Dopers: how does this windchill thing work? Is windchill SUBTRACTED from the minimum temperature (well, added really, since it’s a negative number) to give you an idea of how cold it will be when the wind blows Or, Does the windchill temperature indicate IN ITSELF how cold it will be when the wind blows? (I’ve never heard of windchill before. :)) ---

Whitehorse, Yukon, as of 1:00 pm PST -31°F/-35°C Ice fog, winds are calm (thank OG!) Oh, and seven hours and fourteen minutes of daylight. Windchills here are subtracted from the ambient temperature. The report goes along the lines of “The temperature outside is minus thirty-five, with a windchill factor of twenty. This makes it minus fifty-five. Windchill warning. Exposed skin will freeze in less than five minutes.” ---
