Just wondering since no one is really talking about it, but I guess with a wind chill of 5 or 6 degrees maybe it’s not a big concern. I saw a chart that said it has to be -19 or colder and 30 minutes or more exposure.
Wind chill has nothing to do with ice. Only human skin. If it existed there would be a different formula to calculate wind chill for dogs and other animals.

I was at the Winn-Dixie on Hwy 21 in Covington a bit ago and saw a panhandling woman with a young kid in the parking lot. The kid didn't have a coat and she had a sign asking for help. I offered to buy them some food and drive them to a shelter. She refused my offers and said all she wanted was cash.
I told her to GFH, get the kid out of the weather, and called the sheriff's office to report her. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing someone put a child through something like that.

While wind chill doesn't really have much to do with ice it does have an impact on attempts to insulate pipes and plants. It's easier to insulate pipes and plants when it's just a radiational cooling freeze. You can trap the ground warmth. An advection freeze with wind is different.
