20 degree Celsius is pretty warm.... and they are unlikely to be a "popsicle" ... probably meant 20 degree F....
Minnesota probably do enjoy 20 degree Celsius for few days in July.... :)

Hello Meidad! Thanks for the comment. While I must say living in LA has made me a lot "softer" to cold weather than when I lived in NY, a core body temperature of 20 C (68 F) is well below the most severe cut off for profound hypothermia (despite Minnesotans enjoying shorts in that weather!). Even though it may seem warm--to put this core body temp in context--current recommendations suggest terminating resuscitative efforts for pulseless hypothermic patients if you raise their core temp to 32 C (90 F) and ROSC is not achieved.

The CorePendium chapter is pretty comprehensive for those that are interested!
