Well it isn't the Yellowknife I saw I can tell you that. I was there only once and that's when I was trucking so I never drove through the residential areas but what I saw from where I did drive wasn't anything like that. Not even close. I'm not saying they don't have houses like that because they do but a cul-de-sac. Na... They gotta have straight through streets. In any event I ain't going back to double check. If CBC says it's Yellowknife it's gotta be Yellowknife.
my buddy works there and tells me the town has changed a lot in the last 10 years

lots of southerners move up to make money, houses being built all the time

I'm sure it has considering it's the major hub into the north. Regardless of the advancements it's one of those towns that when I entered it I said to myself... " sellf... don't even think of moving here."

They also interviewed the woman who did the trick too.. I saw it last night on CTV then on CBC National.

Hey Toots.. the next time it hits -30 in cowtown why don't you give it a whirl. It's not a trick so you should be able to make it happen. It's kinda on the same principal as a snow making machine on the ski slops except you're making it one cup at a time. :24:

I would just like to confirm that this phenomenon is possible at -28C. coffee1.png

If I were inclined I would do it tomorrow morning here.. it's supposed to be -33C... I just might do it when I go to plug the car in.. which I forgot to do on our way home from dinner. It's -27C right now.
