Bitter cold
February 3rd, 2007 | Decorah is currently under a Wind Chill Advisory as issued by the National Weather Service:
A wind chill advisory means that very cold air and brisk winds will combine to generate bitter cold wind chills. This will result in frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken. If you must venture outdoors… Be sure to dress warmly and wear a hat and gloves.
The forecasted low for the next two nights is -14º and -15º, respectively. According to this wind chill/frostbite chart, that means that during the next two evenings frostbite could set in during a 10-minute walk across campus.
Brrrr.

My sense of humor got frostbite on an eleven minute walk across campus.
deerfield = -22 windchill. don’t worry though, the actual temperature raised to a warm zero degrees by noon. i’m ready for summer (minus the part that i won’t be spending it interning with you….)
