1. This is a common saying in Norway!

"Det finnes ikke dårlig vær, bare dårlig klær." I love this approach to cold weather.

[Ocelot II]

2. I was just about to post this!

"There is no bad weather, only bad clothing." Vi har de beste klærne for dårlig vær. Minnesotans would do the ceremony outside because we aren't a bunch of warm-weather wimps and we have good clothing. We also say that our bad weather keeps out the riff-raff. (I walk a couple of miles every day no matter how cold it gets, just trying to keep my tired old carcass from deteriorating any faster; I dress like I'm on an expedition to Antarctica and it's no big deal. When I get back I have to cool off.)

Of course Trump will keep his ugly orange ass warm inside while his cult members shiver in the cold, but he'll love it that they're suffering for him.

3. Exactly!

7. Didn't Klobuchar announce her presidential candidacy in a frickin' blizzard

as a good sized crowd watched?

[question everything]

9. Yes, see below

[Rebl2]

22. Yes I

believe so.

[EYESORE 9001]

4. There's no shortage of folks with Norwegian ancestry in Minnesota

Perhaps the phrase got ‘culturally appropriated’ in the region.

15. yeah but he isn't wearing enough clothes for an inauguration

Where is his scarf? Ears shouldn't be exposed. Jacket not nearly puffy enough.
I guess that's the photo they had, and he wasn't really going to a day long event in the cold
but that was my first reaction

[sarisataka]

18. The forecast for the inauguration is about 28 degrees

Walz is overdressed for that temperature; hoodie and baseball cap are plenty of clothes.

While DC suffers through below freezing temperatures and moves inside, the high in MN will be -6. Walz will probably be dressed like in that picture, though he may pull the hat down to cover the ears

23. I'm reading in the single digits with windchille on Monday

Obama's was in the teens with windchill
Though I'm sure Tim Walz and other Minnesotans could tough it out with what he's wearing.
Not me.

5. Thus, Asnes invented layers.

Layers. Layers are key. Lots of few layers.

[SheltieLover]

6. Absolutely correct!

[question everything]

8. And Senator Klobuchar

[EarnestPutz]

10. First thing that came to mind was Amy in the snowstorm. I loved that moment and loved her for it. Thanks for posting.

[MadameButterfly]

14. I expect she wasn't out there for so long and

the crowd could more easily exit if needed

[liberalla]

11. I remember! She's pretty exceptional (and not just for braving the elements)!

and I love Tim too!

[question everything]

12. She is

[liberalla]

13. Hey there!

[Sparkly]

24. "I have grit!!"

[yorkster]

16. Tim Walz is a sweet inspiration.

Funny and smart.

[LuvLoogie]

17. It sounds a little like sour grapes, though.

The time for jokes has passed.

[Ocelot II]

19. Nope. Sometimes you just have to laugh, or you'll cry.

It's always the right time for jokes.

[LuvLoogie]

21. I hear ya,

but they don't mind the jokes when they hold the keys - - other than to have a target for retaliation with physical or legislative violence. These are not statesman. They are thugs with money.

We have to bring more than jokes. They need to be kicked in the teeth in jail. Then I will laugh.

[TheBlackAdder]

20. Trump is afraid of this smaller than 2016 crowd size.
