Hell my butt is frozen to the chair, I'm wearing long johns and a big wooly shirt to keep warm. ;-) I don't care how it happens or why, it's damn cold however you cut it when the temp is 50 below zero and the wind is 50 miles an hour! Wind chill me eye, just try to stand out in that and have a wee in the snow! :-) If this is wind chill then how come you break it off and walk away leaving a golden rod standing there glistening in the sunlight? ;-) ted Doug Herr wrote: > On Sat, 23 December 2000, Martin Howard wrote: > > > > > Windchill is a psychological effect.
