It’s So Cold Outside, Boiling Water Evaporates

By MARY DAVIDSON

Boiling water can freeze in two seconds.

I have seen this done in places like Wisconsin where the temperature can easily dip down to 17 degrees below zero, but I wasn’t sure it could be done in our area.

This morning the temperature was 13 degrees, so I thought I’d boil some water and give it a try. I took a container of boiling water outside and tossed it over the railing of my deck.

The phenomena is called, by some, as the Mpemba Effect.
