Wind chill is over-rated, TBQH. There's humidity in the winter, so it offsets the wind's cooling effect. Likewise, summertime wind offsets the humidity-based fantasy known as the "heat index."
Wind chill and heat index are the meteorological equivalents of the belief in a flat earth.

Regarding windchill:
To an unclothed person, it is probably correct that in the humid atmosphere you would not be as cold as in the dry atmosphere. But we wear clothing. Often, as the humidity in the air increases, the insulating value of clothing decreases because of the moisture captured on the fibers of the clothing. This is the wicking effect of moisture in clothing. It can greatly accelerate the heat loss through clothing. Even though the clothes do not appear wet, the humidity in the air may create a thin layer of moisture on the fibers and result in greater conduction, or transfer, of heat through the clothing.
19/10 here in Lebanon Junction. Nothing better than a wood stove right now I don’t care who you are!
Southern OH don't play around.
Temp is "colder than a well digger's ***" with wind chill of "colder than a witch's titty."

75 and what the hell is wind chill? We don't use that measurement.
24 and going down right now. Seen colder days back when on a 30 day winter training mission in Alaska. Was stationed at FT. Campbell and went to Alaska in the winter of 81 with a week in the mountains with a -40 degree chill at some points. Next winter (82) went jungle training in Panama 95 degree. Left Campbell freezing rain on a C141, set down in Panama wearing winter gear. Got out of that stuff in a hurry.
Here in the Cincinnati suburbs it's been below freezing for a couple of days now, and according to the forecast will stay below freezing for the next 10 days. Single digits now!
