This is why you don't piss outside in Norway atm! *pic*
 

One cup of boiling water turns to snow/ice before it hits the ground:

i dont get it

Its only -7 in Norway thats fake.

a lot warmer down south where I am.. brrrrr -7 sounds cold.. btw, the pic is taken in kautokeino where it was -30.. today I see them expecting -27

fake fake :)

it must be -20 to be that shit

"btw, the pic is taken in kautokeino where it was -30"

damn, that look cold

that's really cool

Its evaporation which isnt surprising when you think its boiling hot water in -30. Boiling hot water wouldnt turn to ice in a few seconds in -30 though. Heres another example of water evaporating https://youtube.com/watch?v=K-GSrrk_ATM

I presume we're talking degees centigrade? At the other end of the scale, it got to 47.9C in Melbourne Australia today. :helpme

PS: Some cool "related" vids around the above one

The coldest town in the world https://youtube.com/watch?v=rZjfS...eature=related

Fuck living there.

Damn, and i thought it was fucking cold here... :helpme

I used to have an awesome picture of a stream of piss frozen in midair which I would have posted here, but I lost it and googling "frozen stream of piss" only yielded gay porn :disgust

Not fake at all, the videos ive seen from it are from some years back if i remember correctly.

nice pic

they made a test on mythbusters .. like that myth where you piss at -65C and it turns into ice before falling to the ground .. well MYTH BUSTED

too cold for my blood, i like tropical climates!

It was fake.

I gotta move there...

Well if my piss come flying out at the boiling point of water, then I can see your point.

That is so cold

Is this pic real? :)

No thanks :helpme

Yup, taken yesterday by Lise Aaserud (Scanpix)

that is just insane.. how the heck do people live down there? Work, kids etc must be a nightmare

fake as moon landing :)

It's probably because when the water is thrown into the air, each water droplet is like a grain of sand that can be instantly frozen...It's like when I'm at the health club and I get out of the hot tub and put my warm wet swimtrunks into the water extractor that spins it real hard....When the water comes out of the bottom, it's always cold, even though my pants are warm...It's because all of that shaking seperated the water and the air cools each water droplet before it reforms into a cold stream of water in the bottom.

Fuck the cold!

Fake or no fake that's pretty cool :upsidedow

that's nuts

Wow, that's cold.

So, a stream of moving water that's at a bit lower than 100oC turns to ice instantly, but the blood in his bare hands that's at 37oC doesn't?
hmmm....

I can stick a thermometer into a pool of liquid nitrogen at -170oC and pull it out in less than a second, and it still won't have dropped to -0oC. For that matter, it's quite easy to put your hand in there, so log as you pull it straight back out again That's more time than that boiling water has been in the air for :2 cents:

No way that is real

Obviously, you don't get cold winter in Norway. Temperature here on Canadian prairies drops to some -42 Celsius or less at least for a few days a year. We had entire month of December at -30 or lower - it didn't give us a fucking break for one day - and while yes, -30 is fucking cold, it will not turn water to ice like that.

When temperatures drop to -45 or less, and you throw a cup of hot water in the air, you will hear it pop as if it was exploding and it basically evaporates before your eyes. It does not turn into a block of ica that falls on the ground.

Try real winter and you'll know the difference.

Has to do with surface area, when you throw boiling water in the air like that it turns to a fine mist/steam with a massive surface area allowing rapid cooling to freeze it very quickly. Colder water forms larger clumps when thrown in the air, thus not freezing as fast under the same conditions.

amazing.... but fake

Have a look at a world map and compare. Is Norway far to the north? I don't live far north where that pic is taken but plenty of places with -30 or more. Btw, I don't see a block of ice on the pic, it seemes to do what you are reffering to?

Thats why I stay where I am. 76 and breezy.

Wouldn't his skin freeze if it was that cold?

Pretty cool :)

No kidding

funny with the people saying fake :)

That's basically what I was saying...Expose more surface area and it's easier to freeze.

Keep your face in that palm....With your face in darkness, it helps you remain ignorant.

ouch....!!! enough to avoid wee weeing outdoor in there!

Is that actually ice, or just steaming hot water?

fail.. the steam is giving a weird effect tho

If it's that cold, don't you think that dude would be wearing a winter coat?

In Canada it's pretty damn cold too and I can assure everyone this is fake.

Its not turning into ice so in that sense it is fake since thats what the OP said was happening but the pic is probably real, its just evaporation.
