So what I'm digging out of all this is that a rock or piece of steel or whatever- will not cool below -5 in a -5 environment, no matter how windy- although I think that it will probably cool more rapidly due to convection and radiation of it's internal heat; a human body exerts a certain amount of work to maintain core temperature in a -5 environment and more if it's windy.
I figure that water does in fact cool more quickly in the wind- although it will never drop below ambient temperature.
Anyone else??

I just checked the long term forecast. Sunday's temp is supposed to be 15C!!!!!!!!!!
WTF??????
Global warming is not a reality.... yeah right!
