We get about 3-4 weeks of minus 45-50-60 every winter here in the Ak interior; cold weather never drive me outta here. It was minus 50 this morn, been cold for a week and a half, but is supposed to break on sat; around zero.

What I can't understand is how so many happily accept the congestion, pollution, taxes, crime, regulation, comprehensive planning, local ordinances, law enforcement saving you all from yourselves, stress, and all the forms of social & govt slavery that has become the standard in your lives? No joke, minus 55 ain't nothing to stay free.

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
