Negative 40 wind chill is pretty out of the range of normal Maine cold

Depends on location. And it's not like it's expected long-term, it's just a day or two (last time I looked, it was over the weekend)

Yeah it's really just Friday night. Saturday is cold but not crazy so.

Not really. If it was -20F you'd only need a 10mph breeze.

The lowest recorded temp at my house in Caribou the last 2 years has been -30F. At that temp a 5mph breeze gives -46F windchill...

Not really. Spent many a winter morning outside waiting for the school bus. And then ran the town streets after school for practice. Lemme tell ya about the time coach sent us out to do Ohio Hills when the temp was sub-zero and the wind was blowing...
