i forget what yr it was (bengals in super bowl ?)but -60 degree wind chills and 4 horse fields at hawthorne on a sat night 
I lived out on a farm in '77,'78,'79 and it was brutally cold all three of those years. -60 windchills were common and pipes that hadn't frozen in 100 years froze. One of those years set a record for the longest stretch of IL days where the temp never got above freezing.
It was very dry and when it would snow a tiny bit the howling wind would drift all the roads closed and the fields next to the roads would be bare dirt. I begged my late wife to move out to the southwest but that was a no-go.
I drove a pulling old stud named Mr Bozo one night at Blmpk and the announcer said the windchill was -38 at post time. He didn't pull that night because my hands hurt too bad. I put him on the gate and let him run off on his own... don't remember where he finished, but I was the first one back to the heated paddock!
