That is obviously a typo or calculation error. None of the winds speeds and temps shown will support that. Someone at that NWS office needs to learn to proofread before publishing!!! :roll:

Major typo, it is in the 30's for temps, wind would have to be around 150mph for -80 wind chill.

At 80 below I might as well stay in an observatory where it's warm. Sounds like a typo. It can't be 38 above zero and have wind chill drop to minus 80. Seems irrelevant no matter how strong the winds are.

I know Jim, I just put it up for the humor effect. Anyway, they fixed it now. Only 26ºF now.

Yeah. He steped outside and looked up before he almost instantly froze. And saw the eye of a land hurricane. Bringing down cold air from the stratoshpere.
