OccupyMN Protesters Plan To Sleep Through The Snow

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Occupy Minnesota protesters put up with Saturday's snow and cold, but Hennepin County might not put up with them if the temperature drops too low.

The protesters say they will continue to camp out on Government Plaza until they are kicked out. However, the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department has told protesters they will have to leave the plaza for safety reasons if temperatures drop below 25 degrees.

One protester said he thinks 15 to 30 people will spend the night on the plaza.
