Scientists recorded the world's lowest temperature, -128.6 °F (-89.2 °C), at Vostok Station Antarctica.
In the words of Roberto Duran as he was getting his arse whupped,, (No Mas No Mas)
No MOss No MOss!! :-D
Same reason they named it Hell, MI or Swastika, NY. Somebody thought it was a good name.
How would wind chill effect (non-heated) rail?
Randy's a distraction. Wish he would play someplace else.
When it got to -60 in Tower a guy from our part of the state made the national news by driving nails with a frozen banana. Was rather remarkable, if sad.
We only had -38 this morning. We're slackers.
Garrison Keeler says that in that extreme cold all me are truly created equal.
The electrons slow down and their orbits tighten shrinking the length of the rails causing disjointing.
Aren't you describing the effects of a drop in temperature, as opposed to wind-chill? It seems to me that wind-chill shouldn't really effect non-heated objects, since they should end up at about the same temperature as the air regardless!
"My house is on Lake Superior about 20 miles northeast of Duluth. The lake serves as a heat sink this time of year. It was -21F at my house this AM but when I drove up to the highway, less that 1/2 mile away, it was -37F."

johniegrad, is that your ATV? Works nice for plowing, doesn't it? That pic looks pretty much like our driveway. We're about 100 miles NW of Duluth and I envy your lake warmth (LOL); our thermometer read -36 this morning (Tuesday). Warmed up this afternoon and has been snowing again.
Keep warm!
LOL - good one!
79 degrees here in Phoenix, wore shorts hiking this weekend, nice to see spring starting here.
Sadly, in a few weeks the streets here will be clogged with geriatric gomers from Minnesota and Saskatoon and the Dakotas, driving their 1985 Cadillacs at 20 miles under the speed limit, on a mad rush to Luby's cafeteria so they can eat macaroni and jello for a dollar less, if they get in before 5 pm, after a day of gumming up the golf courses, playing at a glacial speed, while wearing un coordinated sansabelts and blindlingly white leather shoes, rivaled by their bony white skin which hasn't seen the sun since mid August.
Not on your life!

Some of us like being snowbound, wussies move south,
LOL!!
Its amazing what cognitive dissonance will do for ya!
Lets see, dead frozen wasteland, slippery roads, frozen snot, or beautiful desert, green grass, balmy temps, no heating bill, hiking and biking.
Enjoy the "blue" state.
I am moving south ASAP.
