When it's 12 degrees and the wind is blowing at 40 mph, it feels like it's 12 degrees and windy. BS

Wind chill, unlike heat index, has a basis in physical reality.

All it is is the rate of heat loss at a given temp/wind speed that equates to the rate of heat loss at a given temperature with no wind.

Very simple and elegant.

Note the temperature will never drop below the “actual” temperature. All that changes is how fast you get there.

So you're telling me that when it's 12 degrees and windy, it doesn't feel like it's 12 degrees and windy?!

I have no idea what you're talking about. When it's 12 degrees and windy it feels EXACTLY like it's 12 degrees and windy. Where I come from, at least.
