The budget for the Portland Police Department must really be something – their officers have the power to create clouds!

Of course this is really an old trick in which, when the temperature is extremely cold (like, -30C cold) you hurl a cup of boiling water into the air where it instantly turns into water vapour.

This fun activity garnered much fame last winter when countless videos of people trying it out and ending up with boiling hot droplets of fluid raining down on them made their way on to Youtube.

Portland Police Department posted the video to their Facebook page with the message: ‘Bundle up, it’s cold out there!’
