Basic science/thermodynamics would be confusing to you clearly.

Serious question - how do y’all walk your dogs in that weather? Our dog loses his mind when he has to go outside to pee in 40 degree weather. I know for a fact if he felt a -55 windchill he would instantly die.

What’s the difference between -30 and -50?

Don’t say 20°. I mean, can you feel the difference? It’s just all mind numbingly cold, right?

-43 windchill here, winds howling actual temp is -20. Schools are closed tomorrow due to sustained -30 windchill temps. That seems like an extreme threshold to cancel a day of school

School isn’t usually canceled for subzero weather?

They aren't actually at -30 and -50.

Schools have been closed all week- probably only go back Friday

-2 this morning
-25 tomorrow morning
-29 thursday morning
wind chills in the -50s

Haven't seen anything like this in my life.

Hunkering down tonight until lunchtime Thursday. Kinda like a nuclear bomb went off or i guess like hurricanes down South.

But no mosquitos!

The boiling water trick to steam cloud is for real. We do it most years.

Will try tomorrow and see if my kids will post a video. I am 55, and don't muddle in that shite.

It was a good question at those extreme temps. But the temps they are experiencing would likely give a different answer.

Not usually, this is pretty close to record breaking... hell where i am, they dont normally cancel school until it snows 12 inches... just the way it is. Normally you deal and survive, this is something else though.

Air temp? It's the difference between it being a little uncomfortable to breathe and it hurting to breathe.

Some of the weather balloon readings from Minnesota are ridiculous tonight. Tropopause sitting at about 1 km up. You know those really high wispy clouds? They'd be setting up about 2000-3000 feet above the ground.

School here is not cancelled often. Sub zero weather doesn't do it.

Honestly if there is no wind the temps just under zero aren't brutal.

Heavy snow during the morning commute - or wind chills below -35 have been the standard historically to cancel.

No kidding. How do they piss on a hydrant and not get stuck?
