Me too :-).
But on a somewhat related subject -- we have had unusually cold weather
here in the NW the past few days.
I keep some bottled water in a carport. The carport temperatures stay a
little warmer if there is no wind but the difference between the carport and
a patio away from the house varied as much as 8 degrees. Some of the
variation was understandable some not. BUT, the real interesting event was the
bottled water. With the temperature in the low twenties, some of the
bottles were frozen some not. When I would take one of the unfrozen in the
house, it would immediately freeze. You could watch it turn in just a few
seconds. I thought water froze at more or less 32 degrees. Any of you
chemists or physicists have an explanation in laymen terms? I did some Google
research but not sure any of what I found fully explained what I was
observing.
