      Yeah I mean. I remember the news saying something like 16F but feels like -5. Or something.

      Its legit ice wind up there in the winter. And this was downtown, right off the lake.

      I do think it’s easier to stay warm if you are moving though but this time they just had like speeches and people standing and I couldn’t handle how cold my legs got.

      I guess that’s a tip for cold protesting organizers.
      Keep the people moving. They need it for warmth.

      I mean it’s cold weather but I assumed it would’ve been more if it was described as brutal and whatnot

        They’re remembering their experience in - 10 C, which was already brutal to them, and imagining how terrible it must have been for the folks in Minneapolis in - 23C.

          Yeah. I’m like. Wow. Those people are some bad ass MFers.

          I’m the kind of person who thinks lake michigan water in the early summer is the perfect temperature (60F/17C) for swimming when all my friends are blue lipped and shivering.

          I honestly always say Im more tolerant of the cold than most.

          But apparently I ain’t got nothing on Minnesota peps.
