a chilly -18°F this morning. Perfect weather for a little cold science…
Water does this for a few reasons, some of which a little complicated.
Certainly some of the effect is due to the fact that the now tiny droplets of boiling water spread out and will freeze much faster than if they remained in the container. But there’s another effect going on that’s referred to as the Mpemba effect. It has to do with hot water freezing faster than cold water due to evaporation rates. And if you really want to know, due to the effect heat has on the length of H2O’s hydrogen and covenant bonds….
Cool! Can’t do that in Majorca.
Looks way to cold for us now… Went on the boat Sat. and one engine quit so our 2 hour boat ride to lunch did not happen with 5 friends. But 70 and sat in the slip and drove the car to lunch. Bummer!!.
I heard it is pretty cold there tonight.
Love ya, Faye and Roger
