Typical canard. Does that make everything on the internet untrue?
NOAA is wrong? Univ of Illinois? City of Rochester? BTW, where
are your references, besides your flapping gums?






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."





No ****, we've said that. But the actual temperature must be below 32,

not just the wind chill factor.







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."



With the wind chill below zero, the actual temperature will be below 32F

so pipes freeze. Nothing new, it has worked that way for centuries.

See "Law of Physics" Wind will ten to blow out warm air and bring in

cold air. But the chill factor is not a factor. Temperature must be

32F or below.


Non response to all the factual evidence noted.
