That windchill index [View all]
I remember in the 70s and 80s there would be windchill Indices of 60 and 80 below zero.
When I got my diploma from the University of Chicago in December 1977 it was 60 below. Had to have my pictures taken indoor. The camera would freeze, my friend complained.
But some years ago I've heard that the calculations were changed so what used to be 60 below would now be "warmer." So it is interesting that we are talking now on the "new" 50 below.
No mail tomorrow. I was thinking about the poor carriers driving with their windows open, and I am not sure how stable these vehicles are with such ferocious winds.
And I think that many businesses closed early.
What can I say, I am glad that, as retirees we can just stay home. Even the animals - squirrels, bunnies - are hiding. The birds, though, are brave.
48 more hours?
