Water to Snow 2

This footage was shot at Mount Washington Observatory on March 6, 2007. Water was boiled to a temperature of approx. 200F and then thrown into the air which was at -35F. This turned it to snow in...

its about the molecules... they travel a lot faster when warmed up and boiling compared to cold water. and since the temperature outside is so much colder it makes a much faster physical change

Is this only possible when throwing boiling water? Like, if the water was around 10 degrees cooler or if the temperature difference was 10 degrees warmer. How wide is the range?

it might be because new hampshire is kindn of shaped like a rectangle standing up, and the frame the video is shown in is basically square, so I could see where you could mess up there. Maybe NH stands for something else. MAYBE YOU'RE AN IDIOT It's like a fucking garage with snow outside, how does that not look like new hampshire or even anywhere where there's snow? You goddamned idiot!!!!!!!!

trust me it does, since the warmth gets extracted from the warm water faster then the little bit of warmth colder water has, it goes down much faster then cold water if you look at the temperature

....the rate of heat transfer is faster with the hot water in cold air than it would be wit cold water. So some effects that would be rate-dependent or -sensitive are exaggerated. Maybe that's the thing with the freezing. I dunno.
