news Here's something to invent: Windshield washer that doesn't freeze,
with
the vehicle just sitting in the driveway. I've lived here 25 years and
never had this problem until now. 3 weeks back, I had to drain the
entire
tank of whatever crap the mechanic put in it. Went & bought some other
crap, which worked for a day when the temp was in the high 20s. This
week, frozen again. Two different brands! Next, the fancy pink stuff
from
Armorall or whoever makes it.
I was just reading about this in another NG. Apparently ( I never
noticed
this ) there is a "summer" windshield washer fluid that looks just
like
the winter stuff (same blue color) but is only good to 32 degrees.
Maybe
you got some of the wrong stuff.

The latest bottle says it's good to -25 F. !!! What a crock. And again,
this is while standing still. No wind chill.


Only living animals are subject to wind chill.



Question: If you put a liquid on a surface, and subject both to moving air,
will the surface be cooled by the evaporation of the liquid?



The real question is, if you have a water fountain outside, will the
water pressure be less, resulting in more lip to fountain contact in
cold weather?
Will the wind chill reduce the water pressure even more?
