    Can we just take a moment to give a round of applause (thumbs up) to this mans dedication to getting us this video?! I live and work at DTW for Delta as an aircraft deicer, so I was watching how all the other hubs and cities were handling this. So I know very well that while it was still light outside at MSP, the wind-chill was like -25 to -30. YOU sir, are a LEGEND! **Subbed**

Amazing videos love the channel! I’m also a snow bird from Buffalo NY we get some crazy snow as well!
