Yes, and at -3 at 2pm we're on pace to likely bottom out at the coldest since at least 2015 (-10) and possibly as far back as 1994 (-22). There's no cloud cover. It's gonna get brutal when it gets dark.

You don't think you're being a bit hysterical here?

I don't think it's hysterical to be worried about very low temperatures, especially when it's combined with high winds knocking out power. People have legitimate concerns about losing heating and/or electricity and the temperature has the potential to continue to fall and wind stay strong overnight. City of Pittsburgh have also opened their warming centers early.
But each to their own I suppose.

It's not -21 and to say so is absurd
It's like you're all 80 years old

I mean I don't think anybody said it was?
OP said real feel was -21, which is an accuweather measurement used to determine how the temperature will feel and affect an individual, taking in to account other factors as well as temperature (https://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/what-is-the-accuweather-realfeel-temperature/156655).
Another example of where real feel can be used is how on a very humid day in summer it can feel a lot hotter than it actually is.

Its easy enough to prove. Go film yourself standing outside for 15 minutes in a tshirt. If the windchill isn't actually -20 then you'll be fine. If it is you'll get frostbite. You seem adamant about this point and it seems really important to you so might as well show us what's what.

What does that prove?
I'm not saying it's not cold. I'm saying you guys are being ridiculous

It proves you're not a pussy for one. I thought you were a true, born and raised Pittsburgher after all.

Me: this isn't once in a lifetime, but it's noteworthy
u/ChinaLouise: you're being hysterical
What are you actually doing? Like, what do you hope to accomplish with this thread?
