I'm a moderate-temperature Vancouverite most of the time, but - does windchill factor in here?
In my limited experience, negative X is one thing, and usually quite manageable if, as you say, you bundle up properly. Once windchill gets involved, though, things can get miserable quickly.
- brailsafe 7y agoIt doesn't really factor in here, because the wind just isn't that bad and we have elevation. I'm also a Vancouverite, but from Winnipeg, so I'm very familiar with both. I'd also say that a night on Salt Spring with no heat is insufferable in it's own way. The difference is bone chilling cold here in the worst of times, vs face on fire mode in the prairies.
- freeone3000 7y agoYes, but below -25 or so you don't have any exposed skin so it matters a lot less. Mostly just decided whether your eyelashes freeze in place or not.

This year Winnipeg broke its minimum wind chill temperature record for a full year, reaching lows regular lows of below -52 between Jan and Feb. Not fucking fun.
