Since it was so cold here today we decided to show Tyler and Nicholas what happens when you throw boiling water into extremely cold air. The temperature was -16 degrees at the time we took this video:
The boys thought it was so cool, we did it a couple more times and here's a picture I took of the second time. I think it turned out pretty cool...and yes, it will be on a scrapbook page sometime in the future:
Both Tyler and Nicholas like how the water would freeze and turn to a water crystal fog before it hit the ground! I am glad it is not too often that we can perform these types of experiments in our own backyard.
Last night at 11:00 we got the phone call that Tyler has been waiting all year for: A message from school saying that today would be a two hour delay due to the extremely cold temperatures that were expected. Here's what our backyard thermometer said this morning:
Yep - minus 26 degrees as of 7:36 am in our backyard. Although the boys were excited to have a two hour delay for school, I would prefer not to see these kind of numbers any time soon. Now Tyler is still hoping for a full day off of school, but we'll see - You are still one up on them Aunt Nancy!!! Although there were a lot of MN cities that were colder than us, I still think this was pretty ridiculous!
Hope you are staying warm wherever you are today!
