Default Re: Wind Chill is Fake News

I just finished walking 5 miles. It was -21 when I started and -3 when I got home. That is according to my thermometer; according to TV news it is now -13. Automobile traffic was unusually low, like on Christmas day. There was evidence of dog owners not bothering to pick up their dog's droppings.

I wore 3 layers of ski masks, 1 layer of socks. Most of my discomfort came from walking on bumpy snow because about 1/3 of sidewalks are not shoveled. And, I have to walk over 3 ft. mounds of snow at crosswalks left by snowplows. Jogging under those conditions is impractical.

Now, I have to walk another 5 miles.
