It went down into the single digits last night so I went out and did the frozen soap bubble thing. It was ~6°F when I made these photos in Reno. I need to experiment with a different soap solution chemistry. All of my bubbles froze with polygon shapes. I didn't get any with a fern leaf looking shape which I think looks better.

@elaterite Beautiful. I should have tried that when we had our crazy cold snap here in West Virginia a month ago. It hovered around zero F for several days.

I was focused on the boiling water to snow trick, which needs colder temps around -20F and forgot about the soap bubbles. Phooey.
