Yeah but down near the bottom there is:
Show this page in: English Units o Metric Units x

Anyway, the forecast says:
Today
Nov 30 Mostly Cloudy -12°/-17°

but at the top it's -26°

Not very accurate, those forecasters, eh! So, is it really -26°? What temp does vodka freeze?

It's only about -9° here.

According to 'Popular Science'...

quote:
Vodka contains a high percentage of ethanol, which has a freezing point of minus 117°C
But it is watered down somewhat, and water freezes at 0°C, so I guess it would depend on the proof.

Anyway, you didn't answer me... Is it really -26°C there?

27% 54 0
32% 64 -10
38% 76 -20

Yesus yumpin yimminee!
You better keep your vodka in the freezer where it's safe and warm!

It does dip down to about -40°C here sometimes but that's usually around Jan/Feb.
