_Every Friday we round up some stories you might have missed this week and publish them in one neat little post. Think of it as our gift to you, only it’s not really free because you’re repaying us in likes and shares. No…thank YOU._

An Africanized tribal cover of the hit song from _Frozen_ “Let It Go” has gone viral and features an adorable children’s choir. ([Fox 13 Now](http://fox13now.com/?s=LEXI+WALKER&search%5Fsubmit=))

puppy love is real to puppies. [pic.twitter.com/krauCUPjOg](http://t.co/krauCUPjOg)

The cold is no match for this Sochi skier, who was spotted on the slopes in a sleeveless shirt this week. ([AP](http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/O/OLY%5FSOCHI%5FSCENE%5FITS%5FHOT?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2014-02-13-05-52-31))

Meanwhile, another Olympic skier is focused on adopting all of the stray puppies in Sochi (aren’t we all?). ([_The Washington_](http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/olympics/wp/2014/02/13/silver-medal-winner-gus-kenworthy-plans-to-adopt-stray-puppies/)[ Post](http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/olympics/wp/2014/02/13/silver-medal-winner-gus-kenworthy-plans-to-adopt-stray-puppies/))

Some guy was craving a burrito, so he launched a Kickstarter, as one does. ([Slate](http://www.slate.com/blogs/business%5Finsider/2014/02/11/noboru%5Fbitoy%5Fs%5Fkickstarter%5Fto%5Fbuy%5Fa%5Fburrito.html))

You can now control a snow plow with an iPad. ([The Daily Mail](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2558780/The-radio-controlled-snowplough-lets-clear-drive-sofa.html))

The weather in Atlanta has been so perilous that a local sheriff urged residents not to celebrate Valentine’s Day. ([WAOK](http://atlanta.cbslocal.com/2014/02/14/sheriff-cancels-valentines-day-as-ice-slams-south/))

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright tweeted an adorable photo of herself sporting festive pins for Valentine’s Day.


Sporting many <3's this [#ValentinesDay](https://twitter.com/hashtag/ValentinesDay?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw)! [#tweetmypins](https://twitter.com/hashtag/tweetmypins?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw) [pic.twitter.com/nrXaKrdYdq](http://t.co/nrXaKrdYdq)

Lastly, a father told Facebook that he wanted to see his deceased son’s “Look Back” video, and the social network reportedly sent him this amazing clip. ([CNN](http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/06/tech/social-media/facebook-dad-video-appeal/))
