A snowstorm arrived, as predicted. Temperatures dipped into the 20s. Organizers expected at most 5,000 people, and, around 9 AM, when marchers began to gather,there were only 2,000. Soon, however, there were more – many more. At the end of the day, authorities in Park City estimate that over 8,000 people marched up Main Street, under wind, sleet and snow – and, according to a police office, “there was no trouble and everything was awesome”.
