When I was in my college physics class the subject of wind chill came
up. It was pretty much a laughing matter as far as the weather
forecasters were concerned. Wind chill does not in any way shape or
form make things colder than the actual temperature.
What wind chill really does is cool things down faster to what the
actual temperature is rather than if there was no wind at all.

Correct about "things". People, OTOH, will feel colder from the
evaporative affect on the skin. It feels colder than it really is.

But feeling colder might not really be colder. I feel cold in my house
when the thermostat is set on 74 when I walk in from the garage that is
95. I certainly no as cold as I think I am.

But seriously, when you hear the forecast and the wind chill is what
ever exciting number the meteorologist pulls out of his hat, who pours
water on themselves to prepare for the outing. And that would only last
until the water was gone or frozen.... and the ice would probable be an
excellent insulation from more extreme actual temperatures.
