@jpthings : Oh, trust me, we DO get severe windchill factors up here too. We had a day back in 1992 that everyone around here still talks about. Fortunately, we had warning a day or two in advance so were prepared. We woke up to an actual temperature of -42 below zero. The windchill factor was running -65 to -75 below!! Everything was shut down, schools, stores, banks, PO, the ski areas......everything. Warnings were issued to stay indoors, as any exposed skin in those kind of conditions can freeze in less than a minute. It modified considerably the next morning. It was only -30 below & no wind chill.
