Dangerous wind chills

The public schools have all closed today due to "dangerous wind chills."

The University? Business as usual. Never mind that it's -22 actual temp and -42 wind chill. Bah...

Not that I'm surprised. One time the wind chill was -60 and there were warnings not to go outside with skin exposed because frostbite could occur in seconds. The University didn't bother to close then either. Mind you, I still lived on campus then. Now I actually have to warm up my car, drive to school, find a parking spot, and walk to school.
