I'm not a fan of the "wind chill" or "feels like" figures.  The "feels like", to me, in winter, it much more impacted by wind than the figures would calculate.

yup goes straight to the bones we're crawling out of a frozen malaise that camped out for like a little over 3 weeks.

I find zero wind conditions to be pretty tolerable with a decent coat and gloves down to around zero F, but 30 F with a 15 mph gusting breeze is just really cold, to me.

The wind makes things much worse in my "feels like" scale.

yup, the scientists revised the wind chill calculations decades ago, back in my youth we'd see -70 & -80 windchills more often

Man, we hit 80 in February. That's probably not a good sign.

I'd rather be in 0°F and no wind than 30°F and 15 mph wind.

Go to Chicago, where you get both the zero and the wind.

CD - being in at least 20 hrs a week,believe me no,dial it down 20° and wind then perhaps. Cleveland's colder 847 as the lake has aready froze and less than 70 miles from Canadian Blasts coming across unobstructed. Nobody's cancelling their plans to Cancun or the Riviera for either though

I just personally find wind to be a larger factor than the "wind chill" calculation suggests.

I dimly recall something about "bare skin", which is stupid to me.

Simply wear windbreakers more, while breaking wind less.
