Coffee turns into vapor at -48F in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska

I was just finishing my coffee and threw the rest out but it didn't hit the ground. It was -48F when we shot this video.

Kinda reminds me of something funny that happened a couple years ago

I have a Friend that lives in the States (I'm in Canada) and he came over for a week in July. He was saying how the weather channel said it was 37 out... He left in snow pants and a parka only to find everyone else running around in shorts, sandals and complaining how hot it is.

He hasn't come back to Canada since xD

@Prerion

I guess the education system is little behind where your from. The coldest possible temperature is absolute zero: By international agreement, it is defined as 0K on the Kelvin scale and as −273.15°C on the Celsius scale. This equates to −459.67°F on the Fahrenheit scale

Sativa? So do you like Indica, too, or what?

@gradientspark Liquid ----> Vapor = Vaporization.

For a second I thought that was Gaddafi.

@mikesativa Next time show the cameraman the actual coffee in the cup, then step outdoors and toss coffee. Looked like white snow coming out of that cup. Until I see the actual coffee, I do not buy your claim. No offense or disrespect, just sayin':)

Alaska is one of the greatest places on Earth

It doesn't vaporize.... it freezes. Coffee vaporizes at temperatures above 100 °C (212 °F)
