My boyfriend and I walked from campus to Sherman 
Avenue for the Downtown Light Show Parade a few weeks ago. Absolutely freezing, we stood in front of Tito Macaroni’s in the Plaza Shops and paid the $2 for a very small cup of cocoa. The sidewalks were packed full; parade watchers were standing shoulder to shoulder. People with dogs were trying to maneuver through the crowd. My boyfriend heard a nearby mother console her children, “Kids, pretend you’re from Idaho; then you won’t be cold. This is normal for Idaho”/Kelsey Husky (pictured), North Idaho College Sentinel.

Question: How susceptible to the cold are you?
