Turning Boiling or Hot Water into Snow at -25°C
Man throws boiling water. Boiling water turns into snow.
Must try this.
I'll wait 'til after this wank though.
Or will I. . .

Yup, steam.
We get those "forrin" clips all the time. It's so cold water turns into.......fecking vapor as its supposed to accordind to the laws of physics.

Yes, steam AND snow.
When it's cold outside, there's hardly any water vapor present in the air, whereas boiling water emits vapor very readily — that's why it's steaming.
When you throw the water up in the air, it breaks into much smaller droplets, so there's even more surface for water vapor to come off of. Now, cold air is very dense, and this makes its capacity to hold water vapor molecules very low. There's just fundamentally less space for the vapor molecules, So when you throw the boiling water up, suddenly the minus 25 air has more water vapor than it has room for. So the vapor precipitates out by clinging to microscopic particles in the air, such as sodium or calcium, and forms crystals. This is basically just what goes into the formation of snowflakes.

Can be explained
By the Mpemba Effect, where hot water freezes faster than room temperature water.

Given that the Mpemba Effect can't even explain itself,
I doubt it...!

I thought Satanism and bathing in the blood of small children explained the Cliff Richard effect?
