Default Wind chill and water pipes

I agree and never suggested otherwise. Note that rate of heat transfer
is an effect on inanimate objects.


Yes, but that is an efect of the wind, not the wind chill the weatherman
talks about how we feel in the wind.








The big difference is how well sealed the house is. Radiational cooling

difference will be minimal, but convection can be considerable.

Which shows that windchill applies to inanimate objects too.


No, it shows the effects of wind but has nothing to do with the
windchill factor on the 11 o'clock news
