I sawe three younge ladies do thisse verrey samthinge at Montauke Pointe to weekes ago.
Used to have a block heater, battery blanket, and inside warmer. It was still colder than a witch's tit but it kept the steering wheel from cracking. First half mile on square tires was always fun, too.

200° sauna. I’m having a hard time believing thatHead to South Pole. Thats where all cool cats hang out
300 Club - Wikipedia
en.m.wikipedia.org
The 300 Club is a small number of individuals who have endured a temperature difference of 300 °F (167 °C) within minutes. The group originated at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica and has since been established in North America.
300 Club participants walk briskly from the Amundson-Scott station to this marker, circle it, and then return to the station wearing only boots.
Participants in the Antarctic 300 Club wait for a winter day when the temperature drops to −100 °F (−73 °C). This can happen in April to September (see South Pole). Because such cold temperatures may last only minutes, interested parties have to prepare in advance and be ready to act quickly. 300 Club participants spend up to 10 minutes in a saunaheated to 200 °F (93 °C).

The Russian 200 clubs is even worse.
The 200 Club
Another version, called 200 Club exists at the Russian Vostok Station located at the Pole of Cold where temperatures regularly reach as low as −80 °C (−112 °F). To join the club one must first endure the heat of the sauna at 120 °C (248 °F) and then spend at least 200 seconds outside the station at −80 °C.
No I can't, you effectively kneecapped me! Now I can never go on about how the wind chill number is mostly BS. If it were a real thing, the thermometer would register that temp. The only reason it's dangerous with high winds in very cold weather is the wind effectively blows away the heat hat radiates from your skin giving you some degree of protection against the cold. But in extremely cold conditions, your risk of frostbite grows as the temps drop. High winds just get you frost bit a little faster that's all.
I have walked outside for more than a few minutes in temps of -25F and strong winds back home. I dressed accordingly. Those conditions didn't happen every winter, but it wasn't unusual for the daytime temps to be -15F to -20F for days at a time during a lot of the winters there. Strangely enough, I never incurred frostbite in those terrifying and deadly conditions, nor did I ever personally know anybody there that suffered from frostbite. One of the biggest reasons I left that part of the country is because there are many, many civilized places in the world that you don't need to put up with that kind of shit. I might be dumb at times, but I', not stupid.
Here in Poland my house is 10 degrees further north (~42N in PA~52N here) than my childhood home in Pennsylvania. The temps here are far milder than they ever were back home. Currently it's a balmy 1C or 33.8F. Maybe I'll put a light jacket on if I go outside.
Your little graphic says that -40 is the one point that F and C meet. However it shows -20 to be the same on both scales as well. I'm not a math whiz, but that seems like 2 points to me.

That doesn't prove shit. The wet bulb is wrapped in damp cloth. The wind causes the water to evaporate which produces a cooling effect. The dry bulb has no moisture and indicates the actual temeperature. Any real scientist will tell you the wind chill isn't a reliable indicator of anything except discomfort. Unless your walking around in the winter wind with a wet scarf wrapped around your face. Whatever floats your boat as it were.Like this psychrometer?
By the way, here's some irony for you.
Paul Sipple who went to Antarctica 6 times including on 2 of Byrd's expeditions was a native of my home town. Sipple developed the wind chill factor. Ain't that some shit.

Yep.
In some ways, "Temperature" is an artificial construct. What we feel as "temperature" is the rate at which temperature is changing, immediately next to our skin. This is not a linear relationship, it changes exponentially as the local "temperature" varies from body temp 98.6F (or 37 real degrees).
If you want an absolute single-number measure of temperature, then you want to measure the extremely rapid motion of atoms within the molecules. But you can't feel that with your skin. This was one of the barriers science had to overcome, in deriving the physical laws.
So yes, the "cooling effect" is definitely a part of "temperature," with respect to how we humans know it.

Learn the Temperature Where Fahrenheit and Celsius Are the Same
There is a point on the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales where the temperatures in degrees are equal. See the simple algebraic method to find the answer
Ahh, moving the goal posts I see. I pointed out something on what you posted. Now suddenly that information changed.Learn the Temperature Where Fahrenheit and Celsius Are the Same

Somehow that behavior coming from you doesn't surprise me at all.

Ya know, if BS was electricity you would be a walking powerhouse...
You are projecting there home boy. I can't hold a candle to you when it comes to BS.Ya know, if BS was electricity you would be a walking powerhouse...
