The Wind Chill Record is *BROKEN* at Howard Pass, Alaska Remote Automatic Weather Sensor (RAWS) as of February 14, 3:39 pm AKST!
The wind chill would make it feel like the outside air was -97 F. The temperature was -42ºF with a sustained wind of 71 mph from the North. A gust occurred at 78 mph.
Howard Pass is uninhabited, as is much of the Brooks Range. The previous record of -96 F was recorded in Prudhoe Bay/ARCO on January 28, 1989 at an inhabited location.

No, that is referred to as "mighty cold". At least that's what I've been told.

they can control the blood flow and temperature to certain parts of their bodies, their legs can have a temp of just above 32*F to maintain their core temperature.
