The wind chill factor
used to be measured far above ground level, when I was a kid.
Today, it is measured at ground level, at the place where actual human beings hang out to experience it.
Typically, the wind is stronger at any altitude than at ground level.
That would lead the casual observer to believe that the wind chills of recent years haven’t been so bad. The casual observer is wrong. It’s cold. Freakin’ cold.
