34 degrees. Half the kids in the country used to play outside all day at that temp. In a lot of northern places, kids skating or playing hockey still do.

“In a lot of northern places, kids skating or playing hockey still do.”

In Minnesota last month they had the “Hockey Classic” tournament. Maybe 8 teams that play a couple of days. The “classic” part is - they are playing outside on one of the practice rinks.

The morning game started with a straight temperature of -28 degrees. They still played it. (No wind, so there’s that). Although one of the stars of last year’s state champions got frostbite and missed several games.
