Science Project

With temperatures dropping to as much as thirty below throughout the state of Iowa, we tried a simple science project that many others had been doing. I had first heard about it on AM-720, WGN Chicago. We took 8oz of boiling hot water and threw it into the sub zero air. The adjacent picture shows the result. Water quickly turned into steam and crystals.
WGN Meterologist, Tom Skilling said this air mass originated over Sieberia four weeks ago and now has make its way into the midwest. We compared our temperature to that of Anchorage, Alaska. While Cedar Rapids was reporting a high of -29F, the Alaskan metropolitan area reached 38 above zero. A difference of more than sixty degrees.
Weather is the talk all around the country. However while watching the Sony Hawaii Open from Oahu, golfers had to deal with winds over 60mph. Winds ferocious enough to cause many of the local schools in the area to let out early. I think we'd be satisfied with that weather around here.
