Yes, that is true. But what if she had never learned the windchill number? If she heard that is was 5F with a 30kt wind and had only heard it that way would she be more apt to wear a scarf?
Maybe...guess we'll never know.
My 2 year old always tries to take off his stocking hat. I don't ever let him do it until we are inside the car. I'd side with your wife!
I really have cut back on my TV watching the past year. And now because of DVR I don't have to watch all the ads and can finish an hour show in about 35-40 minutes.
