A plot showing hourly wind chill and hourly temperature would be interesting. No matter what, if the weather man/woman is reporting a wind chill number it means wear winter clothes....

You can guestimate everything you want to know more accurately from temperature and wind velocity. Velocity is speed and direction. Everyone knows that it feels worse when exposed skin faces the wind. And, everyone knows that walking/running in the wind direction lessens its cooling effect. Thus, wind chill is even more ill conceived because it doesn't take wind direction into account.
