Anything above Zero Fahrenheit I can deal with, but once we go below Zero, the dynamic changes. Diesel fuel can jell, wife?s Jeep will loose about 3 mile per gallon on fuel economy. And odd things will happen, like a water bowl that never gave trouble before will now freeze up. It?s called fighting winter for me, not enjoying winter.

Didn't get to bed till early this morning, and it was already -29F then. Woke up to the indoor unit flashing -32F. Think I need to change the batteries cause it has registered colder than that before.

Do tractors feel Wind Chill? Lol

National Weather Service said -14 at 7 a.m. here in south-central Minnesota. Call to Time-and-Temperature said a warm -8. It reminds me of the old saying, "A man with one clock always knows what time it is; a man with two clocks never knows." Same can be said of thermometers, I guess.
Yes and no. Without being started the answer is no, the actual temperature is what they feel. A running tractor with everything warmed up will cool down a lot faster with wind chill figured in. Wind chill is really a measure of how much energy it takes to keep an object above the ambient temperature.

(quoted from post at 09:02:16 01/25/19) kcm,
need to move to the tropical portion of mn.
Nah, too hot down there during Summer.

My old grandpa would say ?man that?s colder than a grave diggers bottom? only thing was that he was a old sea dog and he used a lot of explicit adjectives.

You "DO" know, of course, that next time you have to share with the rest of us??
I think it's law, or something. :wink:
Better take your BIG credit card with you that day. You'll need it for all the pizza and postage. *lol*

so what are you going to do when it gets 20 below and the wind is still blowing

Wind chill only applies to warm blood animals metal is not affected
If that is true,,then why does your coffee cool off faster when you blow on it ??? Or why do you need to shield a breeze away from a piece of metal your trying to heat up?? The wind or chill factor is actually removing the heat out of and away from any thing that it blows against..

I have noticed in the past number of years there is a greater emphasis on including the wind chill in the temperature reports, sometimes those come first (but seldom if ever just by themselves). The whole concept of wind chill in an interesting thing. If you are in your car sitting still and have a thermometer stuck outside the window and it reads at say minus 20 degrees, it will read the same when travelling down the highway two minutes later. I'm not sure how they calculate wind chill.
the wind chills given are really fake news. It is the effect on bear skin when walking forward at 2.9 miles per hour. Also the formula for determining it has changed a few times and is different all over the world.
So unless you are outside with no clothes on in the wind you don't feel the full effect---and it only has an effect on a heat producing object, or one that has a temp above the current temperature

How do they figure that out? Does the National Weather Service have instrumented bears?

Windchill is referring to heat loss and your comfort levels I think. You (and your tractor) lose heat a lot faster when the wind is blowing as compared to a calm day. Just try plugging in a block heater to warm up a tractor that sits outside in the wind. It will struggle to build up heat in that cast iron block as fast as the wind takes it away. Park indoors and its a whole different story.
Same thing on a human. Walk outside on a sunny quiet day at -20f and its not bad at all. But get hit with a high wind at even 0 degrees and it is a downright miserable day.
Its "warmed up" to just below zero here this afternoon but that Southeast wind makes it feel worse than it did at -25F yesterday morning.

I don't want to get frost bite, and that my friends, is why when it's cold outside (below freezing), I have the job of feeding 2 horses and then holding my recliner down. Haven't had it move anywhere yet LOL Seriously, I feel sorry for you folks that have to be out in bad weather. I used to work out in it but since I retired, it's one of the things I enjoy about retirement, I'd honestly still like to be working, kinda feel useless not doing much in winter. Keith

Wind chill used to be based on the evaporation of moisture from the skin. The National weather service now uses a new formula. It
uses calculated wind speeds at an average height of five feet (typical height of a human face) based on readings from the national standard height of 33 feet (typical height of an anemometer is based on the latest heat transfer theory, i.e, .heat loss from the body to its surroundings, during cold and breezy/windy days ;
and uses a standard factor for skin tissue and assumes a no sunlight scenario.

If that were the case, why do tractors, cars and trucks have a fan in front of the radiator?
Stop the fan, then see how quickly your engine overheats. And every component of the cooling system that's in contact with air/wind is metal.

The point he's trying to make is this. If wind chill affects an inanimate object then lets say wind chill at a 30 mph wind lowers temp "feel" by 10 degrees. Ok , then if you set a glass of water out on a fence post and the static temp is 35 degrees and the wind is 30 mph, then the water should freeze up as the wind chill would be 25 degrees. Never happen. As far as the tractor sitting inside barn/garage starting better than one sitting outside.....very simple. Thee is heat radiating from floor/ground all the time. Not much but some. Outside, there is always a little wind and it doesn't take much to blow away any heat radiating from ground Usually the ground under a garage floor doesn't freeze so always heat rising. As far as the coffee thing.... so you are saying if you keep on blowing the heat away from the coffee...it should eventually freeze...even if the ambient outside temp , including that of the air blowing on it , is 35 degrees ? Why does a frozen ice berg meteorite heat up and burn up from speed and friction even before it hits our atmosphere and if not before it sure will when it hits it?? Wind chill at that speed should keep anything frozen? Anchor a glass of water to top of your truck and on a 40 degree day go out and go any speed you want down the road and for any length of time,and it will never freeze.
I've put a thermometer inside my unheated, un-insulated garage and with the doors closed it will be 5 to 10 degrees warmer than outside. Also, if a vehicle is parked in there just overnight the engine will not completely cool off.
A second factor is know as "black body radiation" where the object is able to radiate heat to the black of space and actually get colder than the air temperature. We sometimes see that with a car left outside on a clear still night where the temperature is 34 or 35 degrees, yet there will be frost on the hood and roof.
