non-living things. I understand how a cold temprature and the wind causes a perceived lower temprature to humans but does it affect other things (like machines exposed to the extream cold, cars, etc.) the same way. I think I heard a meteorologist say that wind-chill only affects human skin but I can't understand why it doesn't also affect everything exposed to it. For example will a car start just as easily in a temp of -20 degrees (F) with no wind as in a temp of -20 degrees (F) with a 40 m.p.h wind? Why? Thanks, Frank
