It's -5 degrees here in Denver and because Colorado has such dry air you can make instant snow with boiling water!

WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I just went out and tried this and i founda) getting boiling water splashed on your hands is a strange sensation when it is -5 out

b) using a smaller amount of water I was able to get 100% steam

Yeah! Science Bitch!

-14F here. "-30" with the windchill. And we're not even that far north, I think much of the northern "midwest" is cold as fuck right now because of the huge continental polar air mass is lingering down here from up north.
 
I remember I tried this a few years ago but it was too windy when I threw it and I got a boiling pot of water to the face
 
Haha, no I can tell something is happening, but I just think from the videos it's exaggerating it to say "it makes instant snow"…but I'm not physically there seeing it so I'll have to try it when it gets real cold here.
 
It's gonna freeze the next few nights in Phoenix, so I can imagine it's pretty fucking cold back home in Colorado.
 
if someone makes a video with boiling water spraying out of one of these I will love them forever

Yeah because you live in BC, i bet the humidity is at least 50% there right now, you seemed to miss that part in OPs post
 
Just did this. I live in Utah so we're plenty dry here. The windchill puts the temp at around -2 F right now. I'd say 90% of the water froze and turned into a fog/snow before it hit the ground. There were a few splatters but most of the water that hit the ground was solid.

I'd post pics but its 11:30 and dark and I dont want to go get my camera to take a picture of dark concrete that has ice on it...
 
That is how Breck is doing it in Freeway right now. They just have a giant tub of boiling water and the park crew is running around with those things blowing insta snow everywhere one thousandth of an inch at a time.
 
That isn't too cold for Colorado. In Pagosa last December it was -25 every morning for two weeks. In gunny it gets to -35 consistently.

-5 is naked weather
 
another wonder God's creation.....:

When it's cold outside, there's hardly any water vapor present in the air, whereas boiling water emits vapor very readily that's why it's steaming," Seeley says. "When you throw the water up in the air, it breaks into much smaller droplets, so there's even more surface for water vapor to come off of.

"Now, cold air is very dense, and this makes its capacity to hold water vapor molecules very low. There's just fundamentally less space for the vapor molecules," Seeley explains. "So when you throw the boiling water up, suddenly the minus 22 air has more water vapor than it has room for. So the vapor precipitates out by clinging to microscopic particles in the air, such as sodium or calcium, and forming crystals. This is just what goes into the formation of snowflakes.
 
uhm. where in Canada are you? Coldest it's been in Calgary this year was -29.3 C

pet peeve when people exaggerate temperature.

and wind chill doesn't count.
