Wind Chill Chart

To help Minnesota residents minimize risks and mitigate the hazards of winter, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety — in collaboration with the National Weather Service and other state, federal and non-profit agencies — is sponsoring “Winter Hazard Awareness Week” beginning today.

One of today’s topics is wind chill.  Admit it.  You’ve always wanted a nifty chart with a mathematical formula that lets you calculate your own wind chill.  Seriously, the chart is handy, and the “Frostbite Times” color coding is a great tool.  Use it.  Take precautions when necessary.
