For some, the logical response is to curl up under the blankets and hibernate until spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut wait: where are all the Minnesotans? Outside, of course! First, bundle up: a warm coat and a hat and gloves, and you're all set. Now, squeeze into an ice-fishing shack to try your luck, or skate on a lake and swipe at a puck. Grab a sled and all your friends and tackle a snow-covered hill. Or how about a candlelit ski, with the moon shining brightly overhead?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThink parades are only for summer?
