VIDEO: Minnesotans See Strong Winds as 'Wind Sledding' Opportunity

The bad weather doesn't mean you have to hunker down indoors.

Old Man Winter has thrown everything at Minnesotans—snow, Arctic temperatures and, most recently, gusting winds. Parts of Minnesota saw gusts stronger than 50 mph.

But rugged Minnesotans just see that as another opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors.

“65 MPH winds. -25 windchill. Blizzard Warning,” YouTube user TheJonathannau wrote. “We are Minnesotans, we go wind-sledding.”
