A cold weather experiment
Here's something you can try when the temperature in your neck of the woods dips below zero. The colder, the better, actually, for this experiment to work. The other night it was -3 F (-19 Celsius) outside, so we decided to try it: toss boiling water into the air, and it will completely vaporize before it hits the ground. And I'll be darned, it worked! The important thing to remember is that the water must be boiling (or at least steaming hot). The greater the discrepancy between the temperature of the water and the temperature of the outside air, the better it will work. Of course, the other thing to remember is to please be safe and toss the water away from yourself and anything/anyone else that is important to you!

Ha, Never tried that. But I will try, although not now as it's 7C and it's the calm before the storm Svea.
You'll have to let me know how it goes, Stefan!
I've seen that done here with temperatures even lower. It's quite something!
That would be fun!
