They wanted to see me do it so why the hell not? Lowered the pressure and rolled it. Did it twice and then headed home, and......I flatted. On the front. Really? Stopped in the neighborhood and a guy let me use his pump while he was shoveling the driveway. Made it about another half a mile or so and it was done. Walked it the last mile or so in the snow. Wasn't carrying a spare tube with me, and it wouldn't have mattered anyway. At 16°F there was no way I was gonna be changing it with Reynaud's Syndrome.
I'd be bummed to flat on a fat bike (not to mention in 16 degrees). Seem's like it should be the one bike where this isn't an issue.

Today I couldn't find a good free VPN to stream CX Worlds and only got about 20 minutes in before my data cap hit.
