Yes, its cold, but in reality not as bad as some want to believe.

I mean everyone goes by "feels like" now.

No -20 "feels Like" is not the same as -20 actual temp, which is what we all used to go by, a few years ago.

Because at -20 actual..... which is how we all figured out temperature until someone decided "feels like" was more important........ is probably more like -40 "feels like".

So a few years ago when it got to -20 outside everyone new yeah add the windchill and its really really cold.
Now everyone says well the feels like is below 0, so its really cold, like back when we went by actual temperature.

I get it, to a point. But people have conflated feels like to actual temps, and that is just not the case. I worked a lot of days outside, when actual temp was below -20 degrees, and I will tell you that when the actual temp gets that cold, it is a lot colder than when the "feels like" temp is -20.

They changed how they calculate wind chill (feels like) temp about a decade ago too, which actually changed the overall understanding of that calculation too. At some point when we change how we measure things, that have been measured that way for as long as measurements have existed, it doesnt make things more understandable.
So it's not cold?
