Two days ago I was in northern Wyoming. Temps in the negative teens. And it was cold enough for the inside of my nose to freeze. Ice forming in my beard. But ur didn't feel cold. No bone aching chill.
I just got gas in amarillo, it was 45 degrees warmer, and yet it felt freaking cold.
What gives? Why is the cold always rougher the farther south you go?

I don’t think it’s the temps, you just might be retarded.

Ever heard of humidity?
Posted on 2/9/19 at 11:13 pm to X123F45
The south is a damp cold, the west is a dry cold. The more you know...

As the others say, humidity makes it feel a lot colder. I lived in the rockies for a few years and really could not get over how I tolerated the cold so easily there. 15 degrees there felt warmer than 45 degrees in the south.

Winter is much easier up here.
No joke.

You dont have to be as tough to live out there
The climate knows it, and doesnt try as hard.

Humidity and wind were close. This is just ridiculous.
Also, screw the shitty roads of West and North Texas.

Water's thermal conductivity is around 25 times greater than air.
This is why liquid coolant systems can be so much more effective than air cooled systems whether it's a motor, computer, machine gun or whatever.
This is also why opening the door on your 450 degree oven and having the air hit you in the face is no big deal, but spilling 190 degree coffee on your junk will melt you balls off.
Humidity in the air sucks the heat away from your body faster than dry air.

Water has a much heat capacity then air alone. More moisture in the air the longer it holds its temperature before changing temperature.
The temperature gradient from the surface of your skin or clothing will be lower in cold wet seituatiin then cold dry situations.

My wife could not take 40 degrees in Louisiana. Shes fine with 15 degrees in Alaska.
The only time I really feel cold is when it's windy.

We went to Rocky Mountain National Park last spring, and at the top of the mountain, it was about 23 degrees and snowing.
The next day we drove to Cheyenne Wyoming and the temps hit 106. The two towns are less than 2 hours apart.
That's the greatest temperature differences in the shortest time span I've ever experienced.

Was there wind in Montana? How about Texas? I can handle the cold but cold with wind is brutal.

Moisture in the air makes it easier for the heat to pass through clothing. Dry air has a harder time doing that. Therefore, you'll feel colder in humid air vs. dry mountain air.

Agree. It sucks the heat away from you.
We have these weird local winds called the "Taku Winds" that come off the icefield and it only affects about a 5 mile stretch of town. The rest of the city is calm. It's bizarre.
