-40 plus a 100mph wind = -what??

[Vince the Plumber]

i'm just curious what the wind chill factor would be for this.

the reason i'm asking is the young people up here have snowmoibles capable of going a 100mph.

Vince

my math isn't that good

Vince, If the -40 is farenheit we are looking at -99.5, or -73.1 celcius, if its -40 celcius we are looking at the same?


At least that is what this website said!!

The formula is :

windchill (in degrees farenheit)=
35.74+(0.6215*T)-35.75(V^0.16)+0.4275T(V^0.16)

Where T=Temperature in degrees Farenheit and V=Wind velocity

i just wanted to see if you were paying attention.:p

is it true that the human brain can calculate math problems faster than a calculator?

Vince

dam your fast:D

[wrench spinner]

depends whose brain we are talking about vince!

frozen fingers and toes, and possibly more,

You arent Kidding.... At -40 degrees and only 15 MPH of wind windchill is a -71, with frostbite setting in after a mere 5 minutes of exposure!!!:shocked2:

mine.:D:scratchhead:

yu know, i think i'm getting ripped off and our local lumber store.

i bought a 8ft 2x4 the other day.

oh yeah, it was 8ft long all right.

no matter how many times i measured it, it was only 1 3/4" x 3 3/4".

do they shrink that much or do i have to buy another tape measure.:scratchhead::D

Vince

it could also be those new metric 2 x 4's i've been hearing about for the past couple of years.:p

i entered a snowmobile race when i was a youger man up here.

it was -40 and still. lots of ice crystals.

we averaged between 60 -80 mph.

even though i was wearing a down filled face mask, my running nose fluid froze to my cheek.

i loved it.:D

Its suppose to be 1 1/2" x 3 1/2"....... I guess it never had time to shrink....

[NHMaster3015]

-40 plus a 100 mph wind = DEATH !


For god's sake man, abandon ship and move back down to civilization.:D

Garager, I think he has a Canadian tape measure. :D

it's one of them left handed tape measures.

i can't read the darn thing upside down.:D

I just checked. If it's -40° with a 100 MPH wind - my calculations indicate it's time to get your butt inside!!! :bash:
