I have worked as a mechanic for over 30 years and have heard so many people say that their vehicle would hardly start because of the wind chill. I can"t believe how many people don"t understand windchill. Wind chill is not a temperature folks. It is just a calculated formula for how fast items cool down to the ambient air temperature. The wind makes the air feel colder to us because we are use to having body heat around us. The definiton of wind chill is; Ambient air temp combined with wind felt against exposed skin. If wind chill were a temperature thermometers would be going up and down continiously. A temperature of 30 degrees with a windchill of 15 means that items will cool down at the same rate as if it were 15 degrees without wind. Some swear their tractor starts better inside the shed than the one outside the shed. Well there is some heat from the ground that the shed will capture and keep inside. One thing to remember is that heat travels from hot to cold. Once the heat is gone it can"t get any lower than the ambient air temp, if an item is 20 degrees and the ambient air is 25 degrees the item will warm up to 25 degrees. So for those of you who think wind chill is actually making your vehicle colder you"re wrong, it just made it cool down faster to the ambient temperature. Wind chill is present all year long just not in the winter. That is why we use fans in the summer. There"s not two temperatures out there!!
