Wind Chill Chart

This is the newer chart that was revised a few years back, I'm not sure what exactly they based their revisions on but I know the revision made the feels like temperature a lot less dramatic, I think it nearly cut the wind chill temp in half, what they used to chart as -40 is now only considered -20. So when some old timer is telling you a story about how he was walking to school up hill both ways in -50 degree wind chill temps, you can tell him that it really wasn't -50.


I found the old chart, it definitely read the temp as a lot colder than the new chart!

Its a total white out on the lake in front of my house today. Can't see the end of my dock part of the time. Visibility 100' or less at times.We're in the blue today! Just like my feet.

No need for the wind chill chart to tell you its cold Tonight, already teens below zero in some areas, some areas especially valleys will probably fall into the -20's by tomorow morning, one of the short range computer model is forecasting actual air temps of -30 in NW IA by tomorrow morning.
