I know some people who lived near Denali in Alaska, in a yurt, with an outhouse for five years! I’d recommend getting a bucket.

Towns along 91. Not saying it's a cohesive region, just the parts of VT I've lived/worked in

Dude they’re closing because of the wind gust speeds. They would be closing if it was 20 degrees out tomorrow.
You went from saying windchill is important because it’s a metric of how quickly the weather would kill you (not at all true btw), to saying it’s just an easier way to say it’s gonna be colder than a witch’s tit. It’s okay to admit your wrong.

Yes. But involves being indoors so why not.

I mean yeah those articles state the obvious fact that -30 windchill /= -30 weather. It doesn't work great as an exact number. However when temperatures get into extreme lows and you add wind in obviously chances of frostbite and shit are higher.
Theres a reason why ski areas like jay are closing. They normally don't close in -20 weather. its normally cold af up there. But also -20 days here are usually still. Tomorrow is going to be insanely windy and they decided to preemptively close. Im sure they used a more scientific metric than wind chill to gauge the closing. But its much easier to say "hey -40 wind chill tomorrow we wont open"

My daughter air bnb’d a yurt in NH a few yrs back, was “only minus 6 F” and they were miserable. It only had a small wood stove, wasn’t started when they got there. It took HOURS to get up to 50. They left by 6AM when the nearest breakfast place opened. But it’s all about the experience. Cancel if you can.

Its based on a calculation of wind speed to air temperature. I find it pretty fucking useful as someone that spends time outside in the winter as a quick reference

On for sure. I would tax the shit out of homes and Air BnB's especially to a point they're not worth it. Exceptions for things like deer camps. But none of that is going to fix it. We can't build enough. Even if we build, whats to stop them just being snapped up by work from home types moving here and out bidding locals? We had a demographic problem before covid. Seems unfixable

Pantera was better than all of them and Sepultura was better than half of them.
