I've been accused of winge-ing and wimping about the temperatures and windchills in Regina, where I'm living this year. Over the past month or so, temperatures here have often been in the -20s(C), and this winter we have had far too many days with lows in the -30s. Windchill measures have been even lower.
Prompted by a Facebook comment from Marilyn, I checked out the record low windchills in Chicago, compared with Regina.
While Regina consistently has lower winter air temperatures than Chicago, when it comes to windchill records, Chicago "wins" hands down: -64C in Chicago [1985] vs. only -59.2C in Regina [1962].
There's a reason they call Chicago "The Windy City"!
