RockBottom Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Guess I'll need to put on long pants if I go for a ride. Link to comment
OldBMWMaster Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 We have a GPS workshop today. That is a 22 mile ride for me. Two days ago I was walking the beach in my swimsuit and a t-shirt. Where did I put my jacket liner? 25 and a wind chill of 8 here. Link to comment
enfoman Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 13 and wc of -3 here - BURRR! Good day to get the tax return done. Link to comment
Kathy R Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Yep, single digits here (with the wind chill) for the first time this winter. We've gotten about 8 inches. I shoveled yesterday and today, just for fun and exercise. It will all be melted soon. Back into the 30's and 40's this week. I love this FALLter. Link to comment
Bob Foley Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 When I took our Lulu out for a squirt at 3:30 am it was 22 with a wind chill of 13!! This is in NW Florida. Damn.. Link to comment
Peter Parts Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 "Wind chill" is a helpful concept but widely misunderstood. It refers to (your) subjective "temperature feeling" on naked skin exposed to a certain temperature and wind. Most machines couldn't care less and not too relevant for folks wearing clothes and furry animals. Ben Link to comment
MT Wallet Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Today it has warmed up! We're at 2 above with a wind chill of -13. Give me global warming or early Spring, but make it quick. I'm cold. Link to comment
Joe Frickin' Friday Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 "Wind chill" is a helpful concept but widely misunderstood. The TV weather folks LOVE wind chill temperatures; it helps them paint the most dramatic picture of the weather they possibly can. Most days I don't give a rip about the windchill; I get in my car, drive to work, and then spend maybe 30 seconds walking from my car to the building. I dress according to what the conditions will be like inside my car, where the wind ain't blowing. Link to comment

Ben Ben, Are you saying that if it's 20F out and I'm going 60-70 mph it's not going to feel colder than when I'm going 30 mph? Link to comment
Rougarou Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Yesterday, neighbor calls me up and wants to go for a ride. I put on my Nike Pro liners, blue jeans, UnderArmor cold gear top with a shirt, gloves and my Tourmaster Transition II jacket. Hop on the bike and meet the neighbor at the street, he looks like the little kid from "A Christmas Story", all puffed up with overgarments. It was 30* out and we headed up to Pilot Mountain via the back roads, 'bout an hourish ride to the top. It was a beautiful day for the ride as well and once I edit out the crappy boring video, I'll upload a bit to youtube. Link to comment
Fubar Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Not too relevant for folks wearing clothes and furry animals. Ben 39 F this morning in sub-tropical Florida. I could use a few furry animals. Link to comment
Paul In Australia Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Sorry guys It was 80F on my ride today Never got below wonderful 70 I love the southern hemisphere at this time of year Cool !!!! Regards Link to comment
texasaggie97 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Wow that is cold and I would alway be stressed that there could be some ice some where. I know there has to be some form of moisture but even a broken water line could send you off. Be safe and keep the rubber side down. Link to comment
JohnnyJ Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I remember a Johnny Carson monologue (am I dating myself) where he commented on how awful the weather was back east: ice storms, snow, vehicles sliding around or stuck, etc. He went on to comment on how difficult the weather was in southern California as well, because on the drive from his house in Malibu to the studio in Pasadena the sun was in his eyes the whole way.
