Minneapolis: Bitter cold in the United States of America turned an ordinary plate of spaghetti into a viral spectacle. A Minnesota woman’s social media "experiment" of "frozen pasta" has caught global attention after she shared pictures of spaghetti and fork frozen in mid-air as temperature fell to -29.4°C in Minneapolis, USA.
Weathercaster Jennifer McDermed posted the striking images on X, noting that the city’s temperature dipped to -21°F (-29.4°C) with a wind chill near -45°F (-42.8°C) early Saturday morning. “Minneapolis reached a low of -21°F and a wind chill of -45°F this morning! Ouch! Obviously I had to do the pasta experiment😝,” she tweeted.
Visuals of the frozen breakfast showed the harsh conditions presently prevailing in parts of the United States as a massive winter storm and Arctic blast swept across vast regions. Meteorologists have warned of deep freeze conditions, with wind chills in Minnesota expected to remain dangerously low through the weekend, potentially reaching around -55°F in some areas.
McDermed's quirky post prompted quick reactions on social media, with a netizen saying, “Now this is crazy!” Another said, “Haha incredible! Can’t believe I’ve never tried this!”

An X user said, "Stay warm, respect the cold and never trust uncooked spaghetti in polar conditions." Another quipped, "That pasta froze faster than my motivation on a Monday. Minneapolis winter is built different."
Meanwhile, others claimed that the visuals are AI-generated.
Earlier this week, AccuWeather warned, "A thick glaze of ice is expected from parts of Texas and Oklahoma to the Appalachians and the mid-Atlantic, coating trees and power lines and creating widespread outages and impassable roads."
