The state maintains a road across Lake Winnebego in Wisconsin, complete with markers (discarded Christmas trees) and steel bridges to get across the pressure cracks in the ice. The wind was blowing at about 20 to 30 miles per hour, and the temp was around zero when my Dad and I crossed the lake. Exposed skin gets numb after about 30 seconds in this kind of cold. The locals don't seem to mind this kind of cold, probably because they know that they'll warm up when the weather starts to change in May.
