The problem still goes back to definition. It has become diluted from

the original intent of how the body feels. Yes, wind can carry heat away

faster, but it will never reduce it below actual temperature on an

inanimate object. Many weather reports now use the "real feel"

designation and it considers how hot you feel on a warm and dry versus

warm and humid day. Same with cold. But the thermometer does not change..



It's a losing battle, Ed.

Yes and the Weather Channel, City of Rochester, Univ of Illinois all
say you've lost:

Here, from the Weather Channel:

"Pipes in attics, crawl spaces and outside walls are all vulnerable to freezing, especially if there are cracks or openings that allow cold, outside air to flow across the pipes. Research at the University of Illinois has shown that €œwind chill,€� the cooling effect of air and wind that causes the human body to lose heat, can play a major role in accelerating ice blockage, and thus bursting, in water pipes."


From City of Rochester:

http://www.rochesternh.net/public_Do...ER%20PIPES.pdf
"Pipes inside or outside walls, or in an enclosed area can freeze,
especially when the wind-chill factor is well below zero and heat is
not circulating in those areas."
