It's going to warm up tomorrow. Since the wind

concern, and I do need to consider the wind

nestork gave a good explanation, but instead of wind chill. we should
call it wind effect.
Does the wind hit the pipes? If yes, it can carry heat away faster, if
no, it won't matter how strong the wind is.
When the weatherman gives wind chill numbers, he is talking about how
human skin exposed to the wind feels. I was just out in my garage at -7
wearing a heavy jacket, hat and shorts. No wind, it was not a big deal.
