Never leave a window open, just in case...

[Snowman]

Last weekend McMurdo Station had a storm and one of the dorms had a little problem.

lol

Wait:

2 china hutches and a surround sound system? Spoiled scientists!!!

[Snowman]

Your tax dollars at work...

[Devaclis]

My tax dollars paid for that window. I want my money back :)

[Snowman]

Find me a window rated for -150° below 0° and 160mph winds and I’ll give you your money back.

[McVaaahhh]

Oops. :lol:

I will get you a quote for something in "adobe" or "cast manure" I hear it is all the rage in the SW :)

[Devaclis]

Oh, I meant to ask: Have you ever tried to see if your pee freezes mid-stream while down there? That would be the FIRST thing I did :)

No one has of yet lived through an attempt at -150° and 160mph winds.
We may never know…

And I also bet you would are the type to put it up against a metal pole wouldn’t you?

[Devaclis]

Not again

[Matty]

damn...

nice pow pow:slappers:

Interesting....I guided wildeness trips in northern wisconsin in the winter time and had done an experiment at -40 with my pee, and while it didn't freeze mid stream it was VERY slushy when it reached the ground. I could make a pile of pee.

wonder if humidity is a factor?

[Devaclis]

Body temp may have factored in too.

[Mental]

I have seen videos of a cup of coffee being thrown and it freezing before it hits the ground in North Dakota

[Snowman]

Body temp may have factored in too.I doubt body temperature would have much of a factor. Being that the operating temperature range a human can exist at, is so narrow.

However, other higher freezing point chemicals in your stream could possibly affect the rate of freezing, making it quicker to solidify upon exiting the body. :)

Fireball /pee discussion :)

[Snowman]

I think alcohol would work more like an antifreeze, to lower the temperature at which your urine would solidify.

It would be interesting to see at what blood alcohol level it would take to begin to lower it freezing point.

If I pee Fireballs at -50 degrees?? does it Freeze??? Deep Thoughts

OMG, this is HARDLY a very ladylike discussion.
Wait...disregard! :angel:

Drops of water will survive the 45 foot fall in the -20F freezer at work. The time to reach the ground is a few seconds and will freeze on the ground in a heartbeat.

Well, the relative humidity down there is pretty high but the absolute humidity is low. But I doubt that has much to do with this. What is going to be critical is the surface area to volume ratio of the stream. The higher that number, the faster it will cool. A thin stream will cool/freeze faster than a thick one. So, size matters. It thus depends on whether you are causing a larger or smaller venturi effect with your guiding hand if you know what I mean. :)

Hey Bonnielass, you better get outta here before Gramps finds out!

So what would raise the freezing point? Maybe when you're good and blasted and all that comes out is water would be the ideal time?

DirkYes, but with the extreme cold, wouldn’t shrinkage be a factor, even for larger girthed individuals?

[Devaclis]

I always wanted to use Turgor Pressure in a conversation before. It does not apply here, since my weiner is not a plant, and if it was it would be Bonsai Tree. But I still got to use it :)

[Sparker]

what i find interesting is that people seemed to act as if nothing happened.. ya know sit on the couch, kick their legs up. relax. haha
