They claim there was a 8 or 9 mph wind this morning, not sure there was here. Vehicles today in fact do not register less than -40. It was -45C this morning (-49F) plus whatever the wind chill factor was. But the truck tried to make me feel better by only displaying -40. Fortunately no water bowls frozen.
