whats the weather like?

When I got up and looked outside the window thought it was going to be sunny and a little warm. By the time I got out for lunch it was cold and windy. The 15min walk to Green street changed the weather further and it was snowing (slightly). I got out of the restaurant having a good sandwitch and a latte and the wind has picked up. Walking back to the lab was painful and am glad to have carried a wollen cap and gloves. The current temp at 2PM reads 11F and feels like -8F. No going outside for now, the coffee from the vending machine ain't that bad...

The windchill temperature is calculated using the following formula:

Windchill (ºF) = 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V^0.16) + 0.4275T(V^0.16)

Where: T = Air Temperature (F)
V = Wind Speed (mph)
^ = raised to a power (exponential)

Windchill Temperature is only defined for temperatures at or below 50 degrees F and wind speeds above 3 mph. Bright sunshine may increase the windchill temperature by 10 to 18 degrees F.
