My thermometer, made in England, only goes down to -5F (-20C)
Good for them! That's dedication!
If you're from England, it's worth noting that today is also a one-day state-wide general strike in Minnesota. Which is a first for the mainland US in like 80 years. General strikes are generally unheard of to most Americans* with unions being much weaker in the US than they are in most of Europe. It's pretty significant for a general strike to be occurring over anything anywhere in the United States
* There was a 1998 Puerto Rico general strike, but most Americans aren't aware of that. The last major American general strike was in 1946
There’s warmth in numbers.
