As someone from the midwest, below-freezing is no big deal(so suffer seems like a silly word). I'm curious how much will suffer below 0F(~-18C) this week. We certainly will, and the wind chill won't help.
- dgzl 8y agoIndeed, below freezing really isn't very bad. I'm sure it was just chosen for the statistic.
- scrooched_moose 8y agoAlso midwest, and below freezing is fine and below 0 is annoying. This potential -60F windchill through Minnesota on Wednesday is terrifying. The worst I've ever experienced is -40 and it was brutal. https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/national/weather-forecast-maps?day=3 https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/national/weather-forecast-...

- teilo 8y agoRight. MN here. Forecast is for -33, windchill -60. I've been here > 20 years, and can only remember twice when it got to -20s. I'm not sure my car will even start on Thursday morning.
- 2trill2spill 8y agoFunny I had the opposite reaction, I live in Minneapolis and if it gets that cold I'm going on a walk, I've been in -45 and wanted to beat my record. But I also do have a large amount of winter gear.
- upofadown 8y agoOnce the windchill gets beyond -40C/F it doesn't really matter anymore. Any exposed skin is just as frozen. Your eyelashes are still sticking together. It would probably be better to just report it as some sort of "scarf required" zone followed by "scarf required and it might be a bit uncomfortable" zone.
