Beware the windshield factor
By Christina Quick | January 24, 2008
It’s 9 degrees today. I suppose that’s not so bad if you happen to live in the arctic. But single digit temperatures make me want to hole up in the house until spring.
Last night, my daughter pointed out that it was below zero when taking into account the “windshield factor.”
“You mean wind chill factor,” I corrected.
“Oh,” she said in all seriousness. “I thought it was windshield factor. You know, like when it’s so cold we have to scrape the windshield before we can go anywhere.”
Of course. The windshield factor. The exchange somehow left me feeling a bit warmer.
