It's so damn cold... First off on my temperature do dad in the car it is coming up as -10 degrees F. That's damn cold. The HUD took about 45 seconds to "Warm Up" as it says. AND even after driving down the road for about 15 minutes at 55mph the car never even came close to temp. I had heat and everything , the car just could not get up to temp.
Just imagine how cold the air coming into the engine was, -10 degrees at 55 mph??!!!
So once I get back from the hospital for my severe case of "Nippleitis" I will inform you on the weather once again
Oh' Michigan how I love you!

If the air is still it would read -10* but since the air is moving it is removing heat from a surface faster. I'm not saying the IAT sensor would read -46* but it would read cooler than if the vehicle was stationary and at idle.

We're in the middle of heat wave in central indiana. They're actually talking about freezing rain instead of snow.
So glad I no longer am up in Michigan all the time.
I hear you DrJesus, my poor GXP still sees 104 miles a day no matter how nasty it is outside. The car looks just terrible. I'm going to run it through the high pressure car wash this week though, even if it's still nasty outside.
However, that front end can make one hell of a snow plow.

im sure i can google this, but i was talking to my gf just this morning and we were curious how do they come up with wind chill? is there some formula or is it all speculation? you know i can go out and say it feels like its a temp and you can go out and think it feels like a different temp. oh yeah and its ****** cold out here in nj were expecting the snowpocalypse out here tuesday night, but we'll be in ac winning our fortunes.
I don't know how you guys do it up there. I just about froze to death when i visited my sister in NY during spring break a long time ago!!!
Right now I'm sitting at a chilly 53* with 93% humidity and its been raining since about 1am.

Same here woke up this morning to to a chilly 50 degress and some drizzle, when yesterdays highs were in the high 70s .
As far as wind chill goes, try it being 20* with 80% humidity. It's a completely different kind of cold.
