windshield fluid sprayer

Hairy green toads from Mars made Phil Payne say:

On a (tangentially) related note....
Once, while skiing, an ex-engineer demonstrated an interesting
phenomena around boiling water and cold temperatures.

At -40 degrees (figure it out, C or F), take a bucket full of
almost boiling water, and fling the water in the air.

Guess what happens? (hint: not what you think)

Required Audi Content: I had driven my '89 100Q up to the ski area.
