Welcome aboard Scooter! Hear it's a bit chilly your way! BBC News just had someone in Minnesota throw a bucket of boiling water in the air! Post a pic to cheer us up in the UK, where we're shivering in minus 3 or 4 ! 🙂

PS that's Fargo country ?

Schools are all closed around here!

🤣 2" of snow here and the schools used to close...last year it changed to 'if you live within half a mile, you walk in' because it was an exceptional six-month long winter...

Stay warm! (though -34 won't be unusual where you are?) 🤯
