Greg Locke jotted down the following:

> Look up Venturi Effect

Venturi Effect: (n) You've got a bug stuck in your altimeter's pitot tube.

OK, seriously: From what I can find, the venturi effect deals with the
conversion of some kinetic energy into a pressure differential.  So if two
fat people are standing close together on a windy day, the low pressure zone
created between them will result in them being sucked together.

What's that got to do with windchill?
