Burrr, Baby, Burrrr!


i think the term "wind chill factor" was coined for dramatic people like me. it's not enough if you know the ACTUAL temperature so that you can complain about how cold it is...no. it's much more satisfying to say, "you know, even though its 35 degrees..." and then exclaim "they say the wind chill factor is 25!"

does ten degrees really make an effing difference once you are below 65 degrees? yes. of course it does.

p.s. my entire life and right up until i wrote this post, i thought weathermen and everyone was always saying WINDSHIELD FACTOR. thank you so unpretty for finally making me learn that i am in fact an idiot and the word is WIND CHILL. it has nothing to do with motor vehicles.
