Funny how many people have done this online since it appeared on TV a few weeks before christmas. One guy said to me that it's amazing how many people living in truly cold areas didn't know about the instant snow trick until it appeared on TV. He told me how steam locos used to pull around their own pet snow cloud when he was young.

Along with others I noticed no hat or gloves. But more curiously, no water vapor condensing in front of her mouth as she's talking.

I did this in England during the last cold snap. It was nowhere near -30 but worked just the same.

Pedestrian A, I think you mean water droplets. Water molecules don't change their size.

It's -30 here in southern Canada right now too.

Also, she's doing that in that temperature with no gloves or hat? Canadian, through and through! Once winter gets going we consider -5 to be a day you don't have to wear a jacket.
