Windchill doesn't affect vehicles, since it's based on additional cooling caused by wind-driven evaporation. The base temperature would matter more.

- Waterluvian 3y agoKeg River was -50 without the wind chill. But none of this is the point. “Cold” isn’t a fixed concept. It really matters just how cold a kind of vehicle can get before there’s an issue. And at a certain level of coldness you’ve still got to plug in your ICE.
- falcolas 3y agoI'm not disputing that, just commenting on the specific reference to wind chill. I have plenty of experience with plugging in block heaters. One nice thing is they don't have to be plugged in all night long, just for an hour or so in the morning. In fact, modern vehicles specifically call out not keeping them plugged in all night long.
- Waterluvian 3y agoOh that’s on me! Didn’t realize I referenced it, and I think that’s in error.
