Poll: Can windchills under 32 F sting parts of your face? (snow, day)

[ColdCanadian]

I was amazed one day I was walking downtown in Toronto and it was 35 F outside, light rain and a bit of wind. I saw many guys with totally exposed ears and most of them their skin colour looked normal, despite the cold wind and rain. Mine would have been bright pink for sure if I did not have a hat. I have always been this way, so I don't think I have any particular condition causing my face to be this cold.

Anyways, please vote, as well as feel free to add comments if you want.

I dont see a poll, so therefore cannot vote that way, but Id say "yes". Its been 35 degrees and my ears have felt like they were gonna fall off. It all depends on the wind, if the sun is shining or not, and how long youve been outside. If youre just walking for 10-15 mintues outside, then no, it doesnt sting, not nearly as bad as sub-zero weather. But if youre outside in the wind for an hour or so, it does start to hurt. All you need to do is put a hat on and youre good as gold. ;-)

Strange... It's at the top of my screen. Try loading it again?

I've felt horrible stabbing-pain on my ears from 42 F and 20 mph winds after about 15-20 minutes. I didn't realize they were that sensitive and I was trying to get some sun on my face. Unfortuneately it took me 35 minutes to get where I was going. Now I always where a hat to cover my ears below 45 F, unless it's not windy.

32 is not cold enough to get frostbite.

Of course, I voted "YES". I think windchills make it more miserable then the actual temps do. That's probably because I live in a very windy part of the country.

I guess what I was trying to get at is how many people will have a stinging face with winchills under 32 F, yet above 15 F or 20 F;
weather conditions not normally associated with frostbite.

Anyways, thanks for the responses and votes, keep them coming.

Try going outside to shovel snow in a in -10 windchills. Then vote no. Sheesh!

I say people from the South aren't allowed to vote on this topic!

Thanks for the post, made me grin.

If I wanted to, ( ) I could make my skin change colour at 35 F in 10-15 minutes in a t-shirt, guaranteed.

Of course!
