A short time ago someone asked for a formula for wind chill.  

One that was published in the newspaper here, and is reasonably accurate for a
small selection of temperatures from the wind chill table, is the following:

W=.0817(3.71*V^.5 + 5.81 - .25V)(T - 91.4) + 91.4.

That was actually the headline of the article; it should have caused some
anxiety across the community!

(W is the wind chill, T the temperature in degrees Farenheit, and V the wind
speed in miles per hour.)
