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.
