Does Boiling Water Evaporate at -41 Celsius? (that's about -41 F)

A local tv station runs a myth busters segment every Wednesday in the news. The two journalists/newscasters in the following video set out to prove the myth true or not.  Watch and see for yourself!

That was a pretty cool experiment. The Maritimes are positively balmy compared with you guys; we were only at minus 17 today.

Stay warm!
