It's that time again. How Low Can You Go?
Many thanks to Timmy The Cop for hosting last years thead. But I'm ready to get back on this horse and regret every minute of it.
Use this website to calculate your ride's windchill. Then copy and paste your results into the most recent list, being sure to insert your entry in the correct ranking order (lowest temp to highest). The calculator is at the bottom of this page -----
http://www.nws.noaa....ill/index.shtml
Rules:
Snide comments about the lack of cold in a certain part of the world or latitude will be deleted. Everyone has opportunity to get out into conditions that are beyond their normal, whether it be a trip up into the mountains or out on a day when a strong front brings frost to Florida, or typhoon brings rains that lower the temps by 15°. And frankly, the people who will participate in this thread aren't (for the most part) envious of your scenic calendar weather anyway, or we wouldn't be out riding in adverse conditions.
Yes, we are all aware that windchill is only legitimate on exposed skin and most of us will be covered head to toe in windproof materials. Yes, we are aware that this "non-contest" favors riders at higher latitudes, deal with it or move north. We're just having fun here.

Rules:
- This is not a contest (even though Timmy will make it into one and "win" at all costs/speed/decimal points)
- Be safe, no wrecks allowed.
- Be honest
- Please post temperatures in °F (but feel free to add °C, if you're of that inclination)
- One entry per member. If you better a previous entry, erase your older one
- This is not a contest, no prizes will be awarded.
- Heated gear, windproof gear, leather, textiles, birthday suits allowed.
- Ride length does not matter, around the block, across the state; It all counts.
- 2011/12 Winter Season
- Snowmobiles, snow machines, snow skiing, aircraft, hanging your head out the window does not count. You must ride a motorcycle.
- I'm the sole judge and will rule with an iron fist in a fair and equitable manner.
- Sitting on your bike in the drive does not count. You must ride. If you can't because of ice or snow, too bad.
- Rules are subject to change
- Photos are welcome. (extra points for unique clothing or lack thereof)
- If your entry is not accepted by the NOAA site due to speed restrictions- PM me and I will do the math for you and post your entry.
- Insert a ° sign by copying or holding "alt" and typing 0176.
- This is not a contest.
