So colourful - did they get the fire lit?

Some did. Some were not so lucky. Lighting fires in the snow is quite a challenge. Dry wood is scarce and not having the surrounding snow melt and put your fire out adds to the challenge.

I bet!

I'm glad that when I went thru scouting that it was in 100 heat and not this kind of cold... brrrrrrrr - it's a little chilly tonite in StL only 33 but a stiff wind and HIGH humidity - wind chill feels like -1000! :-))
(especially when I take Roxy out at night and she has to investigate every friggn spot first!)

Ughh... Heat.

You can put layers on if you're cold.. but you can't keep stripping down. Unless you are Magenta or Stu :)
