Totes. Spent my whole life in Texas and AZ.

Never been but I understand a lot of their parking is underground.  If you don’t have a real winter coat, I’d hit up a thrift store and buy one for the trip. 
 

keep your hands, feet, and head warm with gloves, thick socks, and hats. 
 

lastly, and most importantly,

Meanwhile, every teen-aged boy in the Metro...

Including my son, who hasn't worn a jacket, besides when skiing, all winter.

I had to go to St. Cloud on a business trip about 15 years ago in February. Didn't bother to look at the weather. It was 80 in Austin when I left so I was wearing shorts and a tshirt. I got to the hotel and it was about 10 degrees and snowing. Everyone was looking at me as if I was from outer space.

with your stupid little hat at night you'll lie awake

I see what you did there.

@tbone_ there's a show at First Avenue (7th St Entry) Monday night if you end up with some free time.  Iconic club.  Like, CBGB or Whiskey level iconic.

I spent 18 winters there.  This is my second winter since moving back to the land of the sane and I still love getting texts from friends that are still there telling me the temps- temps that I will never have to experience again.

Just stay indoors, don't do anything stupid like go for a walk, and get out of there as soon as you can.  Also mainline vitamin D if you're staying for a while.

There’s no such thing as bad weather. Only bad clothing. 

Tell me you've never been in the Bering without telling me.

No, but have been on the Chukchi, Norwegian, and Barents.  I would not get in them, though.

It’s not so bad without the wind.

Classic. Just like Arizonans saying “but it’s a dry heat!”  


When it’s -30F it’s freaking cold, I don’t care about the wind. When it’s +120F, it’s freaking hot, I don’t care about the humidity!

But honestly, 0 with no wind is better than 30 and blustery, just like a dry 100 is more comfortable than a humid 85.

Y'all pussies would have loved Minnesota in the '70s. Riding in the station wagon on vinyl seats that warmed up around June, inhaling the second-hand smoke from the folks' heaters, and the closest thing to tech clothing was corduroy pants & some itchy wool sweater Gramma knit for you for Christmas.
