Water Explodes

Ever seen water explode? Well it did on the shore of Lake Gilmore this morning. Okay it didn't really explode but it froze so fast it made a loud popping noise. Here is how it works:

Take one super cold day (This morning worked it was -36)
Fill glass of water with 1 cup hot water.
Go outside into said super cold day.
Toss water into air.
Water freezes instantly with a pop and turns to ice crystals and falls to ground!

Welcome to January 13th at 7:30 AM on Lake Gilmore! Man I love winter (see that positive attitude?) Cant wait to see if -36 is the low for the winter, bring it on old man winter! We can take it.

Plugged the car in last night so he he he it started no problem! Electric company 1 consumers 0. Cant wait for the January bill.

One positive of -36 with a windchill below -40 the kids got to sleep in a couple extra hours, school was 2 hours late. Kids 1 School 0.
