Central AB has got down to -4 for three nights in a row. Canola seeding will commence now that it is supposed to warm up. Fart dry but the rain will come the May long.

Does the windchill actually make it freeze harder than the actual temperature?

Supposedly -2 here with a windchill of -7

Farma, no, it means that it will get to that temperature faster because of the wind removing any retained heat or in the case of warm blooded things, needing more insulation to keep warm.

The windchill is an index or equivalent temperature with no wind.

Saskcan , how cold in Glaslyn area ?

[furrowtickler]

Farma - yes
We have seen it , a few years back neighbor had canola on smf. It was -3 but with a 15 k wind all night . Froze canola right off, would not have with no wind.
The reason I say that it was a north west wind and the only canola that survived at all was on the south east side of a bluff . Even the shelter of a few football sized rocks was enough to form a small triangle patch of canola on the east side of the rocks.
Windchill kills

Can't see canola as being warm blooded.

Do see canola companies as cold blooded.
