How would I say, "It has been cold, even for Minnesota." (I'm looking for a translation for "even for...".

I tried the translator, and I'm not confident that those are good answers. Thanks in advance for your help.

The only way I can think of saying it is....

Aunque es Minnesota, ha hecho frío.

Even though it's Minnasota, it's been cold.

One of the translators has it almost correct, but "Ha hecho frío, hasta para Minnesota" is better.

You can also say "Ha hecho frío aun para Minnesota."

Alternative solution, something along the lines of:

A pesar de que estamos en Minnesota, habíamos sufrido un invierno de temperaturas muy bajas.

This is a guess, but my thinking was to use a colloquial form of corriente to indicate something "out of the ordinary" or "beyond common". To wit, using salirse de lo corriente which is on our own translation page:

Aunque este es Minnesota el frio ha sido salirse de lo corriente.

Although this is Minnesota the cold has been out of the ordinary.

This could be something that no native speaker would ever say, but there aren't any of those crazy enough to live in Minnesota anyway. :-D

río (m) (low temperature) he doesn't seem to feel the cold -> parece que no siente el frío to be left out in the cold (sentido figurado) -> ser dejado(a) de lado

here are some words for you.
