Boiling Water From Water Gun In Extreme Cold

From the Uploader: Woke up to a balmy -41C this morning in South Porcupine, ON. Canada Thought I'd share what happens when you mix boiling water and a water gun and take it outside for a few shots.

The stream of water appeared to have turned into a home-made fog machine, and temperatures were so cold that despite repeatedly spraying the water gun, none of the water ever hit the ground. Hot water can freeze faster than cold water through a scientific process known as the Mpemba Effect. And, although it looks like dry ice, the effect is caused by water freezing, rather than liquid CO2.
