Flash Frozen

Have you ever wondered how they do that flash freezing of vegetables and salmon filets?  I have... until this morning.  Yesterday we had lovely 40-degree weather and things were actually melting and people were smiling and enjoying themselves.  But this morning I was awakened at about 3 a.m. by a wind gust that hit the house so hard I wondered if the tornado sirens would go off.  They didn't, probably because they were suddenly and viciously frozen solid.  When I went outside at 5, the actual temperature was 3 degrees, but with the wind chill it was -30.  The worst part was that it never warmed up.  Yuck!  Now I know how a chicken breast feels.
