Dr. Berk,

My boss and I have been having an ongoing argument about wind chill and non living items and your site does not help things. If you believe that a wind chill of 30 degrees F will freeze a pan of water then we are truly in trouble and I am glad that you are not working at NASA. (seems like those boys need some help with basic science in non-redundant systems)

If what you say is true we would all be driving with iced up windshields when we are going 60 mph and it is raining with an actual temperature of forty degrees F. This would be a windchill of 25 degrees F by the new scale.

It surely would be nice if you took your more than egotesticle column and retracted your wise crack answers.

Seems like windchill is becoming over used like the term, “Lake effect snow.”Last time I checked you still had to shovel it. I’m sure the residents of Buffalo, NY know of what I speak.

Bob-

I was working with you until I reached the word “egotesticle,” at which point all attempts at reasonable, scientific discourse were driven from my mind like cold rain would be driven from a windshield at 60 mph before it had a chance to freeze.
