Good point Kylidge! Yea it’s -15 degrees Fahrenheit here. Windchill is plenty below zero too! We have 15 inches of snow on the ground here in southeast Iowa. School starts back today on Monday the 15th. You guys stay warm up there! Mark in Iowa.
Yesterday my thermometer clearly was parked on the-40 when I got up in the morning. I called a friend to wish him happy birthday and his Toyota Truck which was plugged in still would not start. My dog only goes outside for about 90 seconds to do her business. Windchill aside folks - 40 is cold, really really cold even for those of us accustomed to cold weather. Things break, planes don’t fly, semi trucks, school buses and trains freeze up, best thing to do if you can is crank up the fireplace and make some hot chocolate! Stay warm, stay safe and don’t travel unless you absolutely have to everyone.
Yep, anything below -20 about feels the same... but you know it too what doesn't feel the same is 0 wind vs 20 mph wind. Can make -40 with 0 wind feel like paradise while -10 with a 30mph wind feels so cold it burns.
I don’t know Kylidge. At -25 my eyelashes don’t freeze together. At -43 with a breeze, my eyelashes freeze together. That’s my scientific comparison of the two temperatures.
You are spot on. Everyone runs with the chance to one up someone!!! Cold is cold!!!
