Wind also has a cooling affect.

What all this means is that 25 degrees just ain't 25 degrees when there's a 30 mile per hour wind. Comfortable with normal precautions.

CHILL CONDITION 3 - Bitterly cold, travel becomes uncomofrtable, even on clear, sunny days. CHILL CONDITION 4 - Freezing of human flesh begins, depending upon degree of activity, amount of solar radiation V and character of skin and circulation. Travel and life in temporary shelters becomes disagreeable. CHILL CONDITION 5 - Survival efforts are required, exposed flesh w ill freeze in less than one minute. -- Fire Lfe Day Here's some of ihe places I could have gotten into today.
