Current Temperature

[chasvs]

Good morning all,
Currently it's -28 c -36 with the wind factor here in Dundurn Saskatchewan. Thank you Ford for the remote start.

"Wind chill" doesn't affect an inert object at ambient Temerature. It would speed the cooling off of a warmed object, but once down to -28 it's not going to get any "Colder".

29, perfect ski weather with 4" new snow

Just reading this sends a cold chill up my spine. It is very rainy, gray and "cold" here (upper 30's). I guess cold is a very subjective thing.... Upper 30's would be balmy when you are dealing with below zero temps.

Upper 30s usually means breaking out the lighter jacket and leaving the gloves at home. Problem is once it gets warmer, the clouds start to come back which makes everything look dull and sad. When it's super cold, there are no clouds because there's just not enough moisture in the air to create them. So one of the nice things about it being cold all the time, is that at least it's sunny too.

Wow!
I've never been exposed to any temp even close to -44.. Must be exhilarating or just too friggen too cold.

Once you get below -20F it all starts to feel the same. It is quite the rush to step out into it, until you start not feeling anything anymore and your eyelids freeze shut, then you've got a problem.

It doesn't affect the truck, no. But as a non-inert object myself, it definitely has an affect on me. haha

LOL!

I'll counter that argument. It doesn't affect most of the truck. That chemical reaction going on in your battery that's generating voltage also creates a small amount of heat (really small, but it's there). That would certainly be affected by windchill. Most likely, the difference is negligible That's my theory and I'm sticking to it!

Hi Derek,

Yep....like picking fly shit out of the pepper wrt.heat generation...
