Perhaps –20 and the droplets did make a shattering sound when they hit the ground.

At about -45 to -50 It will freeze before it hits the ground At about -70 to -75 it will freeze shortly after hitting the air, sometimes explode in the air. I tried this when I experienced -55 when I lived in Minnesota. You could spit, and the spittle would make a tinkling sound as the frozen bits hit the ground. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 1/6/2017 8:38 AM, [email protected] wrote: My wife was asking if it was cold enough to throw a pan of hot water in the air and have it freeze before hitting the ground.� We have an employee from Texas that has never seen this.� I told her I thought it needed to be �15 or colder for that to happen.� It has been a long time since I have done it.� � From: Travis Johnson Sent: Friday, January 6, 2017 9:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] i am vetting windstream.... � -12F at my house this morning.
