Wind chill... one of the biggest hoaxes perpetrated by the Weather Channel and every "weather reader" on TV.

Wind chill is a rate of cooling - how quickly something cools to ambient air temperature. When I lived in Alaska and people were concerned about wind chill we used to explain it by asking, "if a bucket of water is outside and it's 35* but the wind is blowing so hard, the wind chill is 25* how long will it take for the water to freeze?" The answer is never. It will only cool the water down to the ambient air temperature of 35* but no lower. BUT, it will "cool" the water at the same rate of cooling as if the temperature was 25* - difficult to understand, but the good news: now you can travel even faster to Palm Springs with no worries!!

Wind chill is *is the perceived decrease in air temperature felt by the body on exposed skin due to the flow of air. It is caused by evaporation away from the skin that subtracts from the ambient temperature.

Read the Cal Trans link carefully. A 4WD vehicle with M&S tires meets R1 restrictions, but NOT R2 or R3 restrictions which require chains in the vehicle (R2) or on the vehicle (R3) regardless if the drive train. The restriction levels vary based upon local conditions at the time. You will not be allowed to proceed, or may be cited, if you do not meet the requirement. That said, if conditions are such that Cal Trans is requiring chains on or in 4WD vehicles without trailers, I definitely would set up camp until the weather and road conditions improve.

You need chains in Oregon too.
