The recent cold weather reminded me of an interesting experiment I did many years ago. I wanted to see if soap bubbles blown in rather cold (~10F) weather would freeze while still intact, or burst (due to, say, crystallization). They in fact froze (most of the time), and I watched one roll (!) along a window sill. Could be a lot of fun with one of those kid's thousand-at-a-time bubble makers; you could make a bubble fort instead of a snow fort. Anyway, I don't know what will happen in the current frequent cold (-20F to 0F). I was going say it's worth a try, but that would only be the case if you're REALLY interested.
