Cover Up To Avoid the Chill
The wind is blowing today and the temperature has dropped into the 20s. We might get to the mid 30s, but you have heard the saying…’with the wind it feels much colder.’
Wind takes heat away from your body faster than when the weather is calm. The wind chill was developed to give you an idea of how cold it feels to your exposed skin. That is key, it has to be skin that can feel the wind. The stronger the wind the faster the heat loss. If there is too much heat loss then the body can get frostbite.
Remember that wind chill can only affect living things, and the wind chill becomes dangerous for frost bite at -20 degrees below zero. Something that fortunately doesn’t happen around here too much.
So before heading out today, bundle up and don’t forget the hat and gloves, and maybe some hot chocolate!
