What we know:
“We knew people would still come out in subzero temperatures,” Lavelle told FOX 9. “We love the subzero days because the ice keeps building and real winter adventurers come out.”
Visitors throughout the day stayed warm by dancing and sitting near fires.
“Oh, it’s pretty mild. It’s like Alaska spring weather,” visitor Jennifer Nelson said.
