We want live streaming of the event.

 I wouldn't have a clue how to live stream! Here's the next best thing. 

Forecast tonight is -37 actual temp, not windchill, so we'll see how it does with that.

I was impressed with the wire. I was sure it would be super stiff or would crack but it was pretty good. In the video I said -30 tonight but after I checked the forecast I see -37 for a low tonight so tomorrow will be a great test!

This is actually a legit test Carl. Thanks!

We'd all expect cracking, but so far nothing! We might think much better of the PA wire and actually buy it.

so normally when you bend wire back and forth to brake it it heats up right?

I think if you do it quite vigorously it might. I intentionally bent it fairly slowly and didn't touch it with my hands because I wanted it to stay cold.

Forecast for tomorrow AM, -37. We'll see....

Yes, I could tell he was really amp'd by the whole situation. I feel a bit of resistance about it though.

I'm not sure how to gauge this situation.

 Dog food bags are big, so you can hide bigger items behind them. Cat food bags just can't cut it! Don't tell Buster!

At -33 it felt pretty much identical to yesterday at -26. You can tell it's really cold when it's being twisted, much more resistance to bending than at 15* in the garage but also doesn't feel at all like it would crack.

 Gee..with all that bending I thought you would have at least made us an animal. Is a Giraffe to much to ask for?    Great vid!

 This is a really cool shot. Can just imagine the camera used, data required ? Once shot stuff at 1,000 FPS of 35mm
