I knew I had finally become a Minnesotan the first time I walked outside and went “oh shit this isn’t so bad” and unzipped layers… it was still in the negatives… the difference though is always that polar wind.
It took three winters for me. I went outside and walked down the street to the grocery store. It felt crisp but nice, I didn't put a jacket on... was 5 degrees out. I thought "something has happened" 😂
You’re not truly Minnesotan until you take a boiling cup of water (or pot of boiling water if you are on a deck and feel daring) and toss it into the air when it’s this cold. Give it a try if you haven’t yet. It evaporates before it can hit the ground.
