It was 25 degrees and dropping with incoming weather when I left Pierre on Sat afternoon about 1pm. I saw the Army National Guard running in shorts and t-shirts on the bike path across from the womens prison. Anyone remember how cold the 80's was on the old wind temp scale? I remember playing outside in -84 with windchill and they warned not going outside, breathing too deep etc. Now it has to be what...-42 below with windchill before it's the same effect. problem is people who grew up during those days don't get phased as much because alot of us forget the new measurment system for wind chill.
