If it is getting that cold you must be on the wrong half of the world, we only get down to 17. :thumbsup:

Well they don't get frost bite but when it's running the wind chill will effect how much heat is being lost. This will show up in how hard your cab heater needs to work to keep the glass clear. Also when you shut it down if it is in the wind it will cool down to the ambient temp quicker then if it is some place that is calm. That might effect how long it takes for your fuel tank to jell up. Once it is shut off and down to the ambient temp. Then wind chill will not affect it. Your house also looses heat faster in a wind. It痴 just a matter of the temperature difference of the surface and the air passing over it.

Bingo!

Our governor closed all public schools in Minnesota for Monday!

Just because it might get as cold in the Twin Cities for one or two days as we get on a regular basis up north, the entire state gets in a tizzy. Metro wimps. Meanwhile, the rest of us will go to work as usual.

Absoluteley . Any kind of block heater etc is far less effective with a high windchill , Even just to shelter a machine behind a bale stack or trees helps . It may not make sense on paper but come and start our CATS out in the bush in -30 they will tell you different :)
That's a good point. If your trying to keep it warm with a block heater and the wind if it is below zero can strip out all the heat that the heater produces. That's why covering my tractor in tarps the other day helped get it started. The Mr. heat on a 20 lb. propane bottle inside the tarps helped a lot also. :eek:
