The winter has got North America in an arctic grip, temperatures plummet to near minus 50 and a new trend has started dubbed the "Polar Vortex Challenge".

The challenge sees people throwing boiling water into the air and the contents turn to mist instantaneously.

But one Canadian has taken the challenge to another level after his attempt bypassed mist and converted into straight snow.

The video shows a mug being filled up from a kettle with boiling water and then the contents being launched at a wall.

Kevin Parry, the person in the video, said: "I was surprised to find that boiling water immediately turned to thick snow - and not a mist - when thrown against a wall in the frigid cold."

The video was captured yesterday (January 31).
