Needle Ice

Hello blog.

I saw a cool experiment that explained the phenomena of needle ice on The Weather Channel tonight, the program Weird Weather.  The woman used plain white chalk with a line draw around it in marker.  She then placed them in a shallow bath of rubbing alcohol.  The color of course spread up the chalk, illustrating the same principle present in the formation of needle ice.

There was also a segment about pancake ice, which is really cool looking.

Oh yes, I'm having twins.  Totally random.
