Guys??...
I've had the windchills calculated properly, even in the original post above. My question was about the frostbite times, which are from our colord zones and which don't make much sense.
For example, look at a temp of -35 and a windspeed of 5 mph. The windchill is -52, but the frostbite time is over 30 minutes of exposure.
Now, look at a temp of -10 and a windspeed of 60 mph. The windchill is only -48, so it's relatively warmer than the above, yet the frostbite time is less than 5 minutes here.
Calculating the windchill values is just a very simple and straightforward equation, but frostbite times aren't explained anywhere at all, as far as I can tell.
At this point, I think the colorization of the chart is going to just have to rely on a crapload of IF style statements to make it match the official version.
