The Joys of Davis

[aggienaut]

   Okay so I'm in Davis. And its fricken freezing here!! My roommate just informed me that the high today is supposed to be 49f or something, with a windchill of 10 degrees ... which means the HIGH is just above freezing. Maybe we've got our second day of snow in five years coming up? (And I'll be lollygagging in a t-shirt down in So Cal, suckas!!)

   My room now being devoid of furniture however is like a big white box the light shines into, and is nicely toasty for a change. But even my crazy roommate considers it too cold outside now.

Well, there was that day in 2002, which the picture is from, before that it snowed about thirty years ago, when my mom was in college here.

oh, okay because i thought it snowed every year, that'd be strange.

I was at Chelsea & Holly's house once as a kid when it snowed -- only enough to give the backyard a short-lived white covering -- but it snowed nonetheless. Very exciting. Supposedly that was the first snow in 18 years (the prior time probably being the one your mom remembers.)

"Wind chill" is just a sensation that results from the wind taking heat away from your (nominally 98.6 degree) body more quickly than you would lose heat in the absense of wind. It will not cool you to a temperature lower than the actual temperature of the air. In particular, water will not freeze at a higher temperature just because it is windy, so "49 degrees with 10 degrees windchill" is no closer to freezing than regular 49 degress.
