Holy windchill, Batman. You don't need us to tell you that it's cold out there -- gusts of wind down to 50 below will do that just fine. Temperatures are breaking records on the lowest end of the thermometer all across the Southern and Eastern parts of the country today, and things probably won't warm up until later this week.
近日极寒天气袭击美国,寒风效应导致部分地区最低温度可达零下50度,寒冷程度可想而知。美国全国南部和东部地区气温今日屡刷新低,直到本周后期才有望回暖。
But extreme cold like this has also taught us a few things -- boiling water, for example, turns to snow when it meets -41.8 Fahrenheit Ontario air. It got us thinking about what happens when other everyday things meet Siberian temperatures, so we decided to investigate.
但极寒天气也让我们看到一些别致的景观,如沸水在遇到安大略省华氏零下41.8度的冷空气时立即变成冰雪。我们不禁好奇,其他日常生活中的事物在遇到西伯利亚冷空气的时候会发生什么,于是我们做了个调查。
Not all of these photos are from this year (this week is, after all, not the first time it's been miserably cold!) but they're all a reminder that it can get pretty frigid during winter.
本文中并非所有图片都是今年拍摄(毕竟本周的极寒天气并非史上第一次!),但是它们都会提醒你冬天真的会很冷。
