You have yet to state anything about my point. You have simply talked about rate of cooling.
So then if you are saying I'm wrong you are saying that it is possible for the wind to cool you down past the air temperature?

Well, against my better judgment........here we go:
You made these statements:

I have a couple of questions for you:
1) If you walk outside with an ambient air temperature of 10°F. with no wind, can we agree that the air temperature "feels" like 10°F?
This is important........and we must agree before we go to #2:
2) If you walk outside with an ambient air temperature of 10°F. with 30 knot winds, do you feel colder than you would feel without any wind?
And, if the above is in the affirmative..........
3) Since you do feel colder, what temperature would you judge the air to be when a 30 kt. wind is present? Would it be accurate to say that you might believe that the ambient air temperature is approximately -5°F.........using the baseline of no wind as your barometer?
Please limit your answers to simple yes and no for question #1 and #2.
