A daughter burst into laughter as her father surprised himself with a faceful of snow and fell over while attempting a science experiment in freezing temperatures in Hewitt, New Jersey, on December 28.

In her post on Facebook, Sara Bruno said: “My Dad and I did a little experiment today to see if boiling water thrown into the air really does turn into snow…and it didn’t really end that well lol.” Credit: Twitter/@sarabrunoo via Storyful
