Boil some water for about two minutes. Pour it into a mug. Walk outside and fling the water into the air. As it hits the cold air, it will immediately turn from water to snow/ice crystals, it looks pretty cool! It might be a fun activity for your kids who are waiting to go to school! The weather man suggested putting some food coloring in the water. I can't wait to show my boys. They will love it! Isn't it GREAT living in Minnesota??!!!!

I just tried this with our kids. It didnt work. Probably because we're a toasty 24 below here.
I have a friend who just posted a video of him and some buddies doing it at school and it worked for them. The was an instant cloud of snow and frost. I hope it worked with the boys.

Try blowing bubbles outside when it is this cold. I've never done it, but they say, the bubbles freeze and crash to the ground and fall into pieces.

We did try it and yes, it worked! It was really cool! Make sure you boil the water for at least two minutes! Cold water wont work.
I saw the same news report this morning only I haven't tried it yet. When the boys come home we will give it a shot! Thanks for your encouragement to embrace the cold!
I have seen this done as well! Oh the things we Minnesotans do for entertainment, I tell ya! :)
