Would you consider a windy 3C worse than a still -5C? (snow, temperature)

I was in northern Ontario and it was only about 2-3C but it was very windy and honestly it felt like it was 3F! I think wind makes a huge difference when it comes to feeling of cold. It's also a relief in the summer, if there is reasonably humidity.

Yes I think it feels worse but -5 C is still a freezing cold temperature.

[Ethereal]

Yes, and they're not that far apart anyway.

[MeteoFlan]

Quite possibly yes. Wind chill sucks it right out of me.

I remember this winter in 9 February after the snow the north winds started to blow at about 5 Bf and it felt really cold with the temperature around 2 C. It felt like it was -10 C with cloudy skies. I have some photos of that day and I was overdressed and I looked funny. :P But I felt cold again.

Yes! I have experienced high winds at 0c and snow, really NOT nice. I've experienced -18c and this felt far worse, it gave me pain.

[dunno what to put here]

I took a walk on 22 March 2013 - temperature was -1C with winds blowing at around 15mph with occasional higher gusts, and snow falling, as well as blowing. It wasn't too bad unless the snow was falling directly into my face.

[Sickandtiredofthis]

Not in 60mph winds.

If it is very windy, it can feel really cold. You need a hard shell or sonething that blocks the wind.

-5c with very high humidity is nightmarish though.

[Walshie79]

Definitely. Windy 3C usually means driving rain and sleet, feeling like -10 though not being cold enough to snow, still -5 only feels cold if you stand still.
