wind chill in North Caroline/Grandfathers Mountain tops even Minn or Vermont

(1/6) > >>

redrider90:
Lots of folks do not know the North Carolina has one of the coldest spots in the eastern US.
Tonight is a good example. At 10 PM is is -10F @ 55-80 MPH gusts making it -50F wind chill. Just as cold as anywhere in the upper midwest or Maine/Vermont.

+17 here in balmy GA.

Sasquatch Jim:
  You're not even close to Mt. Washington tonight.  Up there ( it's in New Hampshire ) it's -31 degrees and 56 MPH winds.
  That makes for a really nippy wind chill factor.

krglorioso:
Why is it that when residents of the frozen states complain about their horrible Winter weather there is always some smart ass from the (once) Golden State to tell them "It was 83 in Oceanside yesterday".

Next thing, Brian Reynolds ("bpreynolds") will be bellyaching from Louisville that it's minus something and he can't ride his "new" (lovely") 1998 Triumph triple.  Patience, Brian, patience....Just a few more months...

Well, no exaggeration.  It was 83 here, yesterday.  Rode the 03 Stone Touring over to Oceanside Marina where I sat on a bench and read a chapter of "Pacific Crucible", re the US Navy in the Pacific Theater during the first year of WWII.  I was around back then and remember it somewhat from radio news bulletins and later from a long-standing interest in the history of WW-II.  "Those who do not remember the lessons of history...." as George Santayana said so sagely in the 1880s.

This thread is like a game show question I heard once - does it snow in Africa (or was it Hawaii)?  Turns out it does.  Don't recall the name of the mountain or volcano, though.  Stuff like this puts our preconceived notions to the test.  BTW with our wind chill we are at @-20F   ;D
