JESUS you are dense... Wind chill WILL make a difference in how soon the roads are passible... Let the sun come out... GREAT... The temps are still TO LOW to melt enough to make a difference.....
Wind chill has no effect on inanimate objects. Wind chill can not lower the temperature of an inanimate object lower than the ambient temperature. Like someone else explained, wind can accelerate heat transfer but cant effect minimumbtemperature beyond that of the air.

Maybe I should've provided more details as you did. Lol
I was trying to keep it as basic as possible, but apparently that didn't even work

Windchill is based on the rate of heat loss from exposed skin caused by wind and cold.
Roads that are built on the earth aren't affected by this but elevated, exposed structures are. This is what trey and I were getting at.

This is heat transfer and it works both ways. It will take longer to warm a bridge than a typical roadway.

Saying the "the wind" will make a difference is much different than saying "the wind chill" will make a difference.

Wrong, it also applies to other objects as well such as pipes, surfaces, and etc

Are you just making up your own definition for wind chill?

Is the Siegen overpass closed at the driving range?
Posted on 1/29/14 at 11:11 am to Pintail
even the little perkins road overpass is closed, so it's safe to assume all others are too
even if it was open, really terrible idea to try to drive over it

A. The only effect wind chill has on inanimate objects, such as car radiators and water pipes, is to shorten the amount of time for the object to cool. The inanimate object will not cool below the actual air temperature. For example, if the temperature outside is -5 degrees Fahrenheit and the wind chill temperature is -31 degrees Fahrenheit, then your car's radiator will not drop lower than -5 degrees Fahrenheit.
This proves my whole point. Your lame attempt to argue by googling wind chill/wind just brought this conversation back to the beginning. I was trying to clarify what I thought someone was trying to say.
Wind chill or wind go hand in hand. lol Wind chill is a result of wind. All I was saying, and this is a fact, that wind or the presence of a severe wind chill can indeed speed up the process that an object cools off. Therefore, the surface temps of roads will already be in a position for any liquids that haven't completely evaporated to freeze quicker since the surface is cooler. Never said that wind chill causes water to freeze or etc.

How much frozen precip did BR end up getting.

Then we've been arguing two totally different things the whole time. Like I said earlier.

Not making up definitions
But you keep googling and looking up articles on Wikipedia.
That's lazy. I don't squat when I'm in a pissing match

Are we sure the ice will melt enough to make tomorrow safe?
Posted on 1/29/14 at 11:31 am to Hat Tricks
Even though everyone is below freezing..the roads are SLOWLY melting..remember, the ground will never freeze down here so that warmth is coming up. Asphalt is melting steadily here in Mobile.. slush has reappeared here on Hillcrest Rd and the sun is just barely beginning to break through the clouds. I think at this rate, itll be all good by 6pm and the worst will be over.

Is HWY 61 from Natchez to BR open? I need to get down to BR today. Thanks.

Any reports on highland between airline and siegen?

Don't think so....... Check wbrz.com for details....
