Yesterday’s grand day Saint Paul Winter Carnival Parade was cold, but people came and watched, and I knew they would. Some of the people in the parade were thanking spectators for coming out. I did not see anyone I recognized, but that could be because everyone pretty much looks the same once they cover their faces with scarves. At parade time it was 4 or 5 degrees above zero with a 20mph wind which made it feel like it was -15 or -20 depending upon where you get your weather reports.
The parade was actually enjoyable, but I was dressed for it with my several layers of clothes under a goose down jacket, and some heavy duty Sorrel boots. I was outside for the entire parade an ended up walking a mile or so and never felt cold.
Here are some pictures of the parade and some of the spectators.
