I'd love to see any documents that prove this!


Bob must have contributed to OT post in the past, as he is in my kill file,
thus, I didnt see his post.

But if he would have quoted my entire reply, it would have shown I already
stated what he is now repeating.

No harm...take care.

Close, but not completely true. Wind chill is not confined to living or
animate objects. It is related to evaporative cooling. Animals
radiate heat and moisture, as the moisture evaporates, temperature is
reduced. The wind hastens this process resulting in lower than ambient
temperatures.

If any object has moisture on its surface, it will be impacted by wind
chill.
