Negative 6 degrees is cold.  As The Wyf and I stared out at the cold night, my eyes landed on a bottle of bubbles the geeklets had left out.  Hmm…I wonder  what happens to bubbles when it’s really cold? So, The Wyf and I stepped outside to test our ideas.  (As an FYI, -6 is really, really, really cold.  Even the dog wouldn’t hang out with us.) 

We blew bubbles and I assumed they would just pop when they started to freeze.  But they didn’t. If they were mid air when the froze (5-10 seconds) they dropped and broke. If they landed on something before they froze, they would stick and you could watch them freeze.  They looked a little crinkly with dents in them when the warm air inside them cooled and compressed.  Some would crack when they froze, but still retained their shape, so it looked like a broken egg.

 That was fun.  :)
