Yes, actually so cool we nearly froze here in South Florida! While it was pretty cold, the weather forecasters made us feel kind of wimpy. With temp's in the mid-30's, they were talking about wind chill in the 20's. I didn't ever think about the "wind chill factor" kicking in until it was well below freezing. And I am not sure "wind chill" should be a recognized term in South Florida! Is it really right for South Floridians to discuss the impending doom of "wind chill", when other states are hitting sub-zero temps? Hmm, interesting. When we have hurricane force winds, do the reporters say, "It is 80 degrees today, but with the 100mph winds, the "wind chill" is 68 degrees."?
So the question I pose to FRCA students and parents is: When is it acceptable to use the term 'wind chill'? Is there a temperature point, or maybe a temperature differential?
FRCA students and teachers had an 'Arctic' blast with the cold weather. Many classes enjoyed snow days filled with hot chocolate, 'snow writing', and lessons about snow flakes....have you ever pondered the snowflake? How God designed each beautiful, glistening flake as a unique piece of art. How mighty our Creator, not one single flake is the same as another! Just like God created you and me, and every other person; we are unique and special in our design. We each have unique characteristics, for which God has a special and unique life-plan! Wow!
Search the web, ask your teacher, find the answer to the question: When is it acceptable to use the term 'wind chill'? Is there a temperature point, or maybe a temperature differential?
Popsicles to the first class that gives Mr. Hewlett the answer and the verifiable resource used. Post your answer here!
