WOW not inpressed, been in -75 windchill out walking to the store or walking to work in duluth

In 2001 the wind chill formula was updated to increase the equivalent temperatures. The "Freezer Bowl" AFC Championship game in 1982 went from -59°F wind chill up to the balmy -37°F after recalculation.

Here is a page with the old and new formulas and a calculator: http://www.onlineconversion.com/windchill.htm

that is something I didn’t know, but does not surprise me, now days, when it gets a bit below zero, they close the schools or do a late start
