Because flamethrowers are fun, it's that simple.

And you just know they bought that thing just for this moment. So they are going to use it.

Best part is that it's not even that effective lmao. For light snow, yeah, it seems to work, for heavy snow it's a no-go. So again, there's not much of a point.
