MINNEAPOLIS Walking with her dog, Bandito, at Bde Maka Ska on Friday, Gisel Flores marveled at the sunny weather and calm afternoon winds.
“Today, I woke up, and it’s a beautiful Day, the 25th of December,” Flores said. “Why not go out and go to the lake?”
It looked – and felt – like a regular Christmas in many ways, with snow packing the sidewalks and temperatures hovering near single digits in Minneapolis.
