Eggs cracked in Walker, Minnesota


Wind chills recently 50 degrees below zero.  This is one of my favorite towns to go to for vacations (in the spring, summer, and autumn only).

  1. Minus 40 Celsius is the same as minus 40 Fahrenheit.

    Very cool.

    1. Yes, but that depends on whether "twice as cold" is the same as "half as hot." The situation reminds me of one of my most hated phrases "two times less" [or "three times less etc"], where baselines can be argued.

  2. I have not seen the Christmas Quiz answers, nor have I been able to Google their location. I wonder if the RSS is keeping them behind a paywall to encourage membership.

  4. Why do we continue to use wind chill to the exclusion of the actual temperature? Wind chill is meant to be the same as "feels like". Of course inanimate objects, eggs included, don't react to wind chill. Leave a thermometer outside and it will only show the actual temp. not wind chill. By the way I have experienced -49F actual and -49F wind chill. They are not the same.

    1. I will need to disagree with you here. Wind chill is not a "mental" impression of what the temperature "feels like." It is a measure of how rapidly a heated object will cool in an environment. If an object is in -20F air with wind that produces a wind chill of -49F, the item will cool as fast as one in -49F air (but only cool to -20F). Liquid eggs included.
