Freezing

What a frozen day. It's 13 degrees, but my special weather forecast thing reckons it officially feels like 9 degrees. I'm not sure what would make it feel colder than it is. Can you have negative humidity? Maybe it's wind chill.

  1. What is your “special weather forecast thing”? Is it a joint, growth or bodily appendage? Are you sitting on a rocking chair on your front porch?

    “Betsy, I don’t care what the temperature gauge says. My chittlins’re tellin’ me it’s 9 degrees. And me chittlins ain’t never wrong.”

  2. It comes from Accuweather’s “FeelsLike” trademarked vibe. Now it’s saying it feels like 18 degrees but is actually 17 degrees.

    It certainly FeelsLike[TM] more than any of those temperatures sitting here next to my little bar heater.

  3. Ah, I see. No chittlins then.

  4. Sadly no. But I am looking forward to old age, and chittlins have a fair bit to do with it.

  5. I’m no weatherologist but would having less moisture in the air really make things colder?

  6. Well if more humidity makes us feel hotter than we normally would, I figured negative humidity would make us feel colder.

  7. “High relative humidity makes it feel hotter outside in the summer because it reduces the effectiveness of sweating to cool the body by preventing the evaporation of perspiration from the skin”

    Seems sensible but is from wikipedia, so it may be questionable.

  8. What do you mean? Wikipedia is never wrong.
