Watching the Dolphins/Chiefs game and some of those players had bare arms… how do they not get frostbite or lose feeling in limbs?

Wind is always the deciding factor. Fortunately they were out of the worst of it.

Seriously a -30 day with absolutely no wind is a nice refreshing day. Its rare though. I’ll take -30 with absolutely no wind over 0 and a slight breeze. Air flow over exposed skin is what draws heat away rapidly.
