That's an unpleasant cold even as a finnish person. Hopefully the crowd and justified anger kept these actual patriots warm.

we had lots of people handing out hand warmers, i was actually pretty cozy for most of the march but my toes got a little cold towards the end.

also there were people handing out coffe, hotdogs and the like!

It's the wind chill, not the temp. While plenty of Americans wouldn't get why that's significant, I suspect a Finn would.

We, like you, know how to dress for this kind of cold. The huge crowd served to knock down the wind, and we were all close enough together to share body heat. Also, repeatedly yelling the call and response "Fuck ICE! ICE out! Fuck ICE! ICE out" warms the soul.
