Madi tries to look out a frosted over window “it’s January 18th and I have to head into Minneapolis for a comic show. I’m regretting this choice almost as soon as I wake up. It’s so cold that my windows have frosted over and I can’t see out of them. When I check my app it says it’s about -5 degrees f “

Madi drives with the heat blasting “ I bundle up in as many layers as I have. Double scarves, winter gloves and wool lined boots. I clear frost off the car in record time, it takes me seconds, not minutes. Even so, my fingers are numb before I even get into my car, it takes 15 minutes with the heat blasting before I can feel them again”

Madi trudges through the snow “I don’t have to walk terribly far after I park. But the snow is needed like and painful. By the time I get to the door I’m crying and snotty.” Madi is crying

Madi looks at her phone, a man is being dragged by ice from his home wearing nothing but a short blanket hastily covering his shoulders but not his chest or legs, boxers, and crocs “ I finally get home and check into the news. Immediately I see a photo of a man not far from me who was taken from his home by ice today. They didn’t let him out on any clothes before dragging him out into the cold. And I think about frosted windows, numb fingers, and needle like snow”

Oh and he was a U.S. citizen. #iceout #iceoutcomics #iceoutminneapolis #iceoutmpls #iceoutsaintpaul
