What more creative way to take advantage of the coldest temperatures in decades than to conduct some homemade science experiments - including wondering at the marvel of being able to turn boiling hot water into snow.

还有什么比利用史上最极寒天气在家做些科学实验更有创造性呢？比如说把开水泼洒到空中，开水马上就神奇地变成雪花。

Unfortunately for the less scientifically minded, the experiment has become something of a health hazard if conducted in temperatures that are not quite cold enough.

不幸的是，对于那些不那么以科学态度思考问题的人来说，如果这项实验在气温不够低的地方进行，那将意味着冒生命危险。

If the pot of hot water is tossed when the temperature is too high, then instead of a magical snow shower boiling water rains down on those involved.

如果一壶开水在不足以致其结冰的温度下被泼洒出去，那么结果将不是幻妙的雪花，而是开水落在实验者身上。

Numerous people have posted pictures and comments on social media of painful injuries after their experiment has gone horribly wrong.

许多人因实验时操作不当被烫伤，网民们纷纷在社交媒体上发布和评论烫伤的照片。

Kailyn Nicole tweeted: 'I tried to throw boiling water in the air and it back fired..all the water spilled on me and now my leg is burned. Oops....'
