   I would like to wade into this discussion with another vote in favor
 of the existence of a verified wind chill function.  While taking a
 course in meteorology, we were told that the wind chill factor can be
 obtained from a function that depends upon the wind speed, ambient air
 temperature, and the relative humidity.  A meteorologist had spent a
 tremendous amount of time assessing the effects of cold winds on exposed
 human skin.  The wind chill factor is the result of these experiments.

   Unfortunately, we were not given names or references for this feat.
 Perhaps next time.
