Honestly not sure, I feel this is a very basic high school level science thing myself but I also have not been there in like almost 20 years. 😛 It seems to me the salt one froze more evenly too, the normal water was very interesting the way it froze, it was basically outside in and in some cases would even freeze/unfreeze in odd cycles probably due to convection currents or something. It was also filtered tap water and not distilled water so maybe the specific chemicals/minerals that were left over in it had some kind of influence too.

I'm thinking the salt may very well have affected to conductivity.

I can only think of one explanation, the salt in the salt water provided a nucleus (not sure of the right term) for the crystallization (solidification) to begin, even though the pure water will have a higher freezing point. The pure water may have formed a supercooled solution that actually got below the freezing point before forming a solid. For sure, salt water will have a higher electrical conductivity than pure water, but I dont know about thermal conductivity. Of course all of this is assuming the volumes of solution were equal, the beakers were identical, exposure to wind was the same, etc.

We've been having the kind of Winter I think you'd like around here. I still need to get down there into the woods to look around. It started snowing right after I bought the place.

Looks pretty. We've only had one snow, and it was kinda lame. Supposed to get a little over the next couple days, but I don't think it'll amount to anything. It'll still be nice seeing it fall. I like hiking in the snow. I want to find some place closer than the park I like going to. The one I like is very secluded, and you can pretend the world doesn't exist, but it's 30-40 miles away. There's a couple nice local parks, but they're around busy roads, and highly populated. Snow and rain help keep the people away, but there's still the drone of cars, and you never get that feeling of seclusion. The local ones are basically corridors following a river valley, so you can't venture far off the path without getting on someone's property. The one I like has some private property ownership, but it's mostly state park bordered by wild state forest. You can go a long way off the approved path, and there's no one to say you can't.
 
Metro Atlanta schools closed for tomorrow. It's supposed to rain tomorrow morning with the temperature in the mid 40s F.
 
It's great going for a walk in winter, the scenery is indeed nice. Beard helps to stay warm lol. Though these -40's are a tad much even with the beard haha.







Need to go out again when it warms up and bring my proper camera.

I knew you were soulless. Them soulless eyes.
 
Those wind chills are lame. I went snowboarding at night a few years ago in like 0F weather with -15F windchills and it wasn't that bad.

Yea, that's because it's not cold yet.

The chill is coming tonight/tomorrow to chicago.
Chicago is expecting "wind chill" of -55. (will be worse for people farther west, and up in MN)
 
Don't worry about the cold. Ocasio-Cortez, the world is going to end in 12 years, so you won't have to worry about the cold that much longer.

Here is come context for you:
https://thehill.com/policy/energy-e...world-will-end-in-12-years-if-we-dont-address
"Her comments are in reference to a United Nations-backed climate report, published late last year, that determined the effects of climate change to be irreversible and unavoidable if carbon emissions are not reined in over the next 12 years. "


What is the point of your post? Is it just a pathetic attempt at mediocre trolling?

Are you trying to propegate lies and misinformation by confusing the concepts of weather and climate?

Are you doing a "joke" ?
