Yes people, my blanket was frozen solid to my window sill. Here's how *that* happened...
I live on the first floor of my dorm. There is a street light right outside my window. So, aside from my crappy curtains, I hang a fleece throw up in my window every night before I go to bed. this is easy to do, because I can stand on my bed to do it as I sleep right next to the window. Last night it was -5, and as I slept and breathed near the window, the water vapor from my breath condensed on the window and froze there. When I woke up this morning, the window pane was covered in a sheet of ice on the *inside* (like, you know, where I was sleeping). Anyhoo... I have to keep the window open during the day even though it's only 10 outside because otherwise my body and my computer heat up my little bedroom pretty fast. So, the ice started to melt during the day, but tonight when I wanted to close the window, I noticed that the ice had dripped onto my blanket which I keep on the window sill during the day and re-frozen... sticking the blanket solid right there on the window sill. Plus there were icicles in the window frame, so I had to slam it shut over a dozen times to break them all free and open the window. So, that's how my blanket was frozen to the window sill.
FYI, the widow is now open because it got hot in here again, and I'm even wearing a t-shirt. Outside temp in Toronto (with wind chill): 11F. Good times.
