#2 - The Wind Blows Harder When It Snows

The rule of thumb for calculating windspeed is to take the windspeed from just before it was snowing, multiply by the average household size in China (8.2), add 5, then add 3 more for good measure.

For example, today the wind was 2 mph before it started snowing. After it started snowing, the wind increased to (((2 mph) x 8.2) + 5 + 3) or 24.4 mph.

Please note that when combined with Axiom #1, walking outside when it is snowing is not fun.
