Transcript:
Janis: Did you cover the outdoor faucet? It's going to be 28 degrees tonight! Arlo: No, it isn't! It's going to be 36 degrees! Janis: But it's going to feel like it's 28! Arlo: That's just windchill! Actual air temperature is what matters, not apparent temperature! Janis: I don't know... Arlo: Want to bet? Arlo: OK, that was dumb!
xdoc2: Not so. The faucet also produces heat, via the pipe that either buried or goes into the house. What matters is the true temperature of the faucet, which may be slightly above the air temperature. Wind chill temp is irrelevant, it measures how cold we feel, taking temp, wind and humidity into consideration. Arlo may be cold because of the wind chill, but he was right. Stupid way to win an argument.
