great- I need an app.
my brain is confused trying to remember grade 9 math.
... is there a metric version of that formula which might be easier to do in the head ?
( cause metric equivalencies are usually easier to calculate on the fly)

Very good.
Problem is there is an "old wind chill" and a "new wind chill". Maybe Global Warming affected the formula ;-)

I rarely ride naked anymore so maybe the charts do not apply to me, but I did leave home this New Years Day at 9:30 AM when the temperature was a frosty 27F and rode for over an hour at 70+ on the freeway to meet and ride our annual rain or shine New Years Day ride. Naked, that made it -21F by the old charts.
This was all possible due to Gerbings heated gear, a modular helmet with a fleece face mask and insulated boots. This on my sporty, no windshield, no hwy lowers, no handguards, just a few electrons slowed enough by the Gerbings resistors to keep me warm and toasty for 7-1/2 hours of unsual sun for the Nothwet.
I was the only one of the ride who did not complain everytime we stopped about cold hands. I suspect that at least 3 of the riders will have heated gloves by this weekend.
I may feel the cold more now that I am an official senior citizen, an early baby boomer, but if I knew then what I know now about heated gear, especially heated gloves, I would have saved up and bought them in 1964. No more getting home only to find out that your hands are so cold I could not hold the key or get it into the lock. No more stopping at a gas station to run hot water over my hands. Not for the last 10 years when I purchased my heated gloves. The heated jacket liner just added total comfort, but it was the hands that used to do me in.

Well duh - everybody already knew that! HAHA 
Even with that formula, I don't believe I am smart enough to figure out how to use it....
