Helena Which cities have the same wind chill temperature? Buffalo and Lincoln What is the wind chill temperature that those two cities share? -17 Compare the Windchill Factors of Each City. Sort them into Greater Than (>), Lesser Than (<), or Equal To (=) *Greater Than and Lesser Than have the same amount in each column.*Equal To does not have the same amount. Greater Than (>) Lansing _ St. Paul Boston _ Hartford Bismarck _ Hartford Dover _ Helena Lansing _ Hartford Boston _ Chicago Lesser Than (<) Chicago _ Boston Hartford _ Lansing Topeka _ Dover St. Paul _ Bismarck Lansing _ Topeka Chicago _ Buffalo Equal To (=) Lincoln _ Buffalo
