Default Wind chill and water pipes

Nonsense. Why would windchill only remove heat from things that are alive?
Good grief.


I think we are confusing definitions. When the weatherman give wind
chill or "real feel" temperatures he is talking about how exposed human
flesh feels the temperature. Think evaporative cooling.

Drop the word "chill" and I think we can all agree that wind removes
heat faster. There is no evaporative cooling, but faster movement of
heat energy from the object.

No matter how you term things, it does not change the laws of physics. .
