Water to Snow 2 03-06-07

Uploaded by MWOObserver on Mar 6, 2007
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 instantly. The video has shots in real time and shots in infrared to show the water leaving the objects hot then dissipating in the cold air without touching the ground.
Mount Washington Observatory is a nonprofit, membership-supported research and educational institution with a mission to advance understanding of the natural systems that create Earth's weather and climate. Since 1932, the Observatory has been observing Mount Washington's incredible extremes, conducting scientific research, educating the public about the science of weather and climate and amassing one of North America's longest and most unique climate records.

@taytayg93 speaking about things you are not very informed about is ok, but laughing at other people... crosses the stupidity line. Boiling point depends on the pressure.

@MWOObserver Well, yours still looked cooler than mine. Our clouds weren't as big as the ones you guys got here.

This works in Albuquerque, NM right now, its only -4 F though. I think it still does it because we have zero humidity whatsoever.

@iamthejtg The humidity is the key in your case!

I just did this in 1 degree weather. I wonder perhaps if it would work as long has it was under 32.

@k2theC2thejo The exact temperature at which this "trick" works is only partially dependent on the temperature. The other part of the equation is humidity, or the amount of water vapor in the air. If the air is drier, this will tend to work at warmer temperatures than if the air were moister.
