More fun from "The Great White North", well MN is not exactly Canada, but since they have been sending us all their cold air lately.....

It was -13F this morning:help: and I thought I would give the kids a little physics lesson. When hot(boiling) water is thrown into very cold air, it vaporize rapidly and never hits the ground:eek:

I am uploading a video and will post that soon.

Jeremy you need to do something with those legs!!!!! Hey we are getting blasted here in South Haven now. They say we may get 30 inches of snow by Mon. night and we are getting 35 Mph winds out of the north. Keep up the Bill Nye science guy stuff as it is fun.

Keep up the good work, Jeremy. :2thumbs:

If you threw cold water up in the air at that temperature, would it freeze into ice drops?

What happens if you have to go #1 outside?....do you get yellow ice cubes?

(Not to mention a ferocious case of "the frightened turtle".)

Just about:)


Here are the videos. For some reason it took Google a day to process them, perhaps the internet is frozen;

longer video (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7695124461177775119&hl=en)

I had longjohns on, that is why my legs look so pasty white:help:
