   Alright, the season begins… the run for the world record cold, -129°F. Now even before winter has begun it feels like it’s -146°F. I’m sure that feels like a record is being broken, wonderful. When this all time cold record (from c, 1983) is broken, take double note that after a century of straight up hockey stick style warming, the 1913 record of 134°F for the hottest world temperature still stands. Go figure.

   Steven, unless I am mistaken I think the calculations are incorrect, according to the windchill conversion chart I used (http://www.onlineconversion.com/windchill.htm) a -74 temp and a 16 mph wind comes out to -133.59 (old windchill index pre Nov 2001) or -115.26 (new windchill index) BUT the Saturday NIght temp -96 temp 13 mph wind calculates to -152.6 (old index) or 139.68 (new index) I have been in weather that had windchills of -55 and that felt unbearably cold, I can’t even imagine what -152 would feel like!

   I don’t get it. Weather report looks to me like it says -104 F feels like -104F. Print might be too small.

     The print is fine, and Steven highlighted it. Perhaps your page down button is too small?
