You Only THINK its Cold Outside
Ok. It’s the middle of winter, and we’re all sitting around complaining about how cold it is outside. But before you continue your whining, watch this video! This video taken in Fairbanks, Alaska (on the UAF campus) shows a pan of boiling water being thrown into the air in -45 degree weather.
The water evaporates almost instantly, and this has to be one of the coolest things you could possibly do in this kind of weather.

I have personally done this and can assure you that it is AWESOME! Showed this effect to my daughter and her friends a few years ago. Works best when the air temps hit -20F or lower.
Use a plastic container as a precaution against thermal shock when you go outside with boiling water in a hot container.
wow thats cool lol pouring steam
That would be awesome! Someone should film that…

Greenland’s naming was a scam, I’ve heard.
We did this with coffee when we were kids.
I’d like to see a Mentos bomb in this weather. Would it make a huge minty-bubbly icicle?
It’s funny because when people think of ICEland they would naturally assume it would get that cold there!
That’s awesome. Almost makes me wish it’d get this cold back here in Iceland … just so I could try that out.
