ummmmm. . . . It's COLD

[DYEVOUT 0]

Just did an approximate windchill calc. for exit altitude (12,000 feet AGL) at the local DZ.

How does 80 degrees below zero sound ?

Didn't figure in 73mph lateral wind, just 120mph freefall speed.

I don't think I'm goin'.

How do you figure out wind chill?

[AndyMan 7]

Remember that windchill formlas are attempts to quantify what something "feels" like.

Once you get below -40, it just doesn't feel that different. Trust me on that one...

Therefore, windchill formulas are effectively useless in the extreme temperature ranges. Yes, this includes current conditions in most of Canada and the northeastern US.

I'm sure glad Chicago managed to avoid it, tho...

Thats pretty friggin cold... I don't think I'd be jumping from full altitude either but there are such a thing as hop-n-pops

Here's a site that does it for you (bottom of page), but the wind speed only goes up to 110.

In NH, the Mount Washington weather station (elev. 6,288 feet) was reporting -98 degree wind chills.
