“at noon, it was just below zero with a 10 mph wind.”

So this happened last summer in Fargo?

The suspects were merely “dreamers” hoping to make a better life for themselves in America.

I had a friend from Fargo. She described the cold. She moved to California but now she hates California.
Not much hope for her unless she turns to God...and that AIN'T gonna happen in the foreseeable future. Too bad.

Cold weather requires different clothing and operating procedures.

In cold weather, I tend to prefer coat-pocket carry. Nobody thinks it unusual to be walking along with your hands in your coat pocket, and the fastest draw is when you already have it in your hand.

Two of my nephews went to work up there.

The crime and the craziness caused the younger one to go back home to Washington.

Lots of drugs, booze, fights, and gunfire in the nights in the shanty towns that have sprung up.

There is no “good advice” at how best to survive in that environment.
Just leave.

Moreover, below zero temperatures tend to solidify some lubricants

When I was stationed in Germany with the Army in the 80's, we went to Graff during the winter for our gunnery exercise. It got so cold that the .50's would freeze solid and not operate if we used the standard lubricants. We had to bring them inside the vehicles, let them thaw, wipe off the lubricants and put on a thin coat of a special arctic lubricant. If I remember correctly, the temps were in the -40 F range.
