> winter season (ie, near 0 deg F)

It gets into the negatives for a lot of the winter. As I type this, it is -4F in Sioux Falls (just off I-90) with a mild 5-10mph wind with an expected low of -8F tonight.

There are a lot of windmills near I-90 since you can pretty much guarantee a constant wind.
